Este 17 de Junio se celebra el Día del Padre en Estados Unidos.
Eso me lleva a recordar a mi padre, Washington Bernardo Hourcade.
Y al recordarle, con cariño, con emoción y añoranza, siento profundamente su ausencia.
Mi padre no sólo era mi consejero, sino mi gran locutor válido. Si hay algo que extraño por sobre todo, eran las extensas conversaciones que tenía con él.
De pensamiento esclarecido e inspirador, mi padre discurría sobre problemas del mundo, del país, o del vecindario.
Pero sobre todo, analizaba con gran sagacidad las cuestiones políticas. Tras de sí tenía una militancia de décadas en filas del Partido Colorado Batllismo.
También abordábamos aspectos concernientes a la fe cristiana, y por supuesto, temas y situaciones personales.
Soy consciente de cuántas veces lo he echado de menos, y cuántas hubiese querido aún tenerlo conmigo.
Desde la Eternidad, sigue siendo para mí un referente ineludible, el que forma parte de mi personalidad: honestidad, sinceridad, rectitud, hombría de bien. Así era él. Así deseo siempre ser yo. ¡Gracias por siempre, querido padre!
EVOKING MY FATHER
This June 17 is celebrated Father's Day in the United States.
That brings me to remember my father, Washington Bernardo Hourcade.
And as I remember him, with affection, with emotion and longing, I deeply feel his absence.
My father was not only my adviser, but my great valid speaker. If there is something I miss above all, it was the extensive conversations I had with him.
Of enlightened and inspiring thought, my father spoke about problems of the world, of the country, or of the neighborhood.
But above all, he analyzed political issues with great sagacity. After him he had a militancy of decades in the ranks of the Colorado Batllismo Party.
We also addressed aspects concerning the Christian faith, and of course, personal issues and situations.
I am aware of how many times I have missed him, and how many I still wanted to have him with me.
From the Eternity, it continues being for me an ineludible reference, the one that forms part of my personality: honesty, sincerity, rectitude, manliness of well. That was him. So I always want to be me. Thanks forever, dear father!
