    A picture is worth a thousand words...

    Natasha came out of her room dressed very elegantly, a dress of beautiful colors, she put on her high heels, what she calls party shoes. From the jewelry box on her old chest of drawers, she took out her valuable gold garments. Several rings adorned her long fingers, and a beautiful bracelet long ago given to her by her late husband, also sparkled for the occasion.

    Grandmother: why are you dressed like that, what is the occasion?... her grandchildren asked very intrigued...! There's a party here and we don't know anything about it! ... exclaimed the grandchildren in unison as they watched TV.
    John, Natasha's eldest son, upon hearing the commotion, came out of the room and surprised to see his mother with such elegance and before recovering, she said: Son, please pour me a double whiskey today I want to celebrate .... and please put me the channel where the president is.

    Her son went to the small bar of the house and prepared to serve her a drink, he did not want to ask her the reasons since it was only four days ago New Year's Eve and she was not so animated... On the bar was a shelf full of basketball trophies ....

    Her son went to the small bar of the house and prepared to serve her a drink, he did not want to ask her the reasons since it was only four days ago New Year's Eve and she was not so lively ... on the bar was a shelf full of basketball trophies....

    Mother, what is the reason for this toast? ..... Asked the son with a lot of curiosity...
    You know that I have dedicated my life to basketball, it has been my great passion, at the beginning it was not easy... at that time they did not accept that women of color practiced that sport... but the team worked very hard until we managed to fill that shelf.... Well today is historic son.... you haven't seen the news and you carry that thing in your hand all day long, Natasha complained....

    I have been very busy preparing for the beginning of the year, tell me what event there is today....
    Well son President Biden today honored one of the greatest basketball players in the world, they gave a medal to Magic Jhonson , the president said that “At the ceremony, that they are ‘truly extraordinary people, who gave their sacred effort to shape the culture and cause of America’ .
    That they have recognized the contributions of this player makes me feel happy because it is also a recognition for all players of color who gave so much for this beautiful sport.

    Una foto vale por mil palabras..

    Natasha salió de su cuarto vestida muy elegante, un vestido de hermosos colores, se puso los calzados de tacón alto, los que ella denomina los zapatos de fiesta. Del joyero que esta sobre su vieja cómoda, saco sus valiosas prendas de oro. Varias sortijas adornaron sus largos dedos, y una hermosa pulsera que hace mucho le regalara su difunto esposo, también brillo para la ocasión.
    Abuela: ¿por qué te has vestido así?, ¿cuál es la ocasión?... muy intrigados preguntaron sus nietos…! Acaso hay una fiesta aquí y nosotros no sabemos nada! … exclamaron al unísono los nietos mientras veían la televisión.
    John el hijo mayor de Natasha al escuchar la algarabía, sale del cuarto y sorprendido ve a su madre con esa elegancia y antes de reponerse ella le dice: Hijo por favor sírveme un whisky doble hoy quiero celebrar…. y por favor póngame el canal dónde está el presidente.
    Su hijo se dirigió al pequeño bar de la casa y se dispuso a servirle un trago , no quiso preguntarle los motivos ya que apenas hace cuatro días fue la noche vieja y no estuvo tan animada… sobre el Bar estaba una repisa llena de trofeos de basquetbol….
    Madre y a que se debe este brindis….. Pregunto el hijo con mucha curiosidad…
    Tu sabes que he dedicado mi vida al basquetbol, ha sido mi gran pasión, al comienzo no fue fácil… en esa época no aceptaban que mujeres de color practicaran ese deporte… pero el equipo trabajo muy duro hasta que lo logramos llenar esa repisa…. Bueno hoy es histórico hijo…. no has visto las noticias y eso que cargas ese aparato todo el día en la mano, se quejó Natasha…
    He estado muy ocupado preparando el inicio del año, dime que evento hay hoy….
    Bueno hijo el presidente Biden hoy ha condecorado a uno de los más grandes basquetbolista del mundo, le han dado una medalla a Magic Jhonson , el presidente ha dicho que “En la ceremonia, que son «personas verdaderamente extraordinarias, que dieron su sagrado esfuerzo para dar forma a la cultura y la causa de Estados Unidos” .
    Que hayan reconocido los aportes de este jugador me hace sentir feliz porque también es un reconocimiento para todos los jugadores de color que tanto dimos por este bello deporte.
