English version:
There was once a family that painted the hands of each member on their living room wall. There were little pieces of tenderness in each stroke, and the love they had for each other was reflected in the time they tried to preserve. But one day they had to move and the painting stayed on the wall. Another family came to live in the house and they found the painting on the wall. The colors were no longer bright, but it was still alive and beautiful. But the new family didn't want it there because it didn't represent them. They felt it was a mistake to cover up the memory of golden times, but they also did not feel identified with the chaotic painting on the wall. So they decided to do something different. They carefully removed the wallpaper and sent it to a carpenter to have a frame made. Then they found the family who had painted the picture and gave it to them. There was no more paint on the wall, but everything was as it should be.
La pintura en la pared
Spanish version:
Había una vez una familia que pintó las manos de cada miembro en la pared de su sala de estar. Había pequeños trozos de ternura en cada pincelada y el amor que se tenían se reflejaba en las veces que intentaron preservar. Pero un día tuvieron que mudarse y la pintura se quedó en la pared. Otra familia vino a vivir a esa casa y encontraron el cuadro en la pared. Los colores ya no eran brillantes, pero todavía estaba vivo y hermoso. Sin embargo, la nueva familia no lo quería allí porque no los representaba. Sentían que era un error tapar el recuerdo de tiempos dorados, pero tampoco se sentían identificados con la caótica pintura de la pared. Entonces decidieron hacer otra cosa. Quitaron con cuidado el papel tapiz y lo enviaron a una carpintería para que le hicieran un marco. Luego buscaron a la familia que había pintado ese cuadro y se lo regalaron. Ya no había pintura en la pared, pero todo estaba como debía ser.
Fun fact: this is one of those stories that comes out of nowhere, but somehow they mean a lot.
Not at all random tip: paint your hands directly on a canva, so you don't need to remove the wallpaper if you move ;)


This made me smile😊
