Story: Sebastian, a good reason to start over.

Many years ago a boy named Sebastian lived in a village, he was very popular and loved by his classmates, teachers and neighbors, this was because he grew up practically alone with his grandmother Lourdes, who was widowed when he was 3 years old.

Her mother died in childbirth and her father was never heard from, because she abandoned them as soon as she found out about the pregnancy, she ignored them. However, as soon as Sebastian was born, his maternal grandparents received him as their own son. Their arrival in the world was accompanied by great pain for Lourdes and her husband Santiago, it was a very difficult situation for them to have to accept the death of their only daughter under that sad circumstance. Despite that they had a new reason to continue fighting, it was a helpless child who depended on their care and love to live, so this couple despite being devastated could continue their lives focused on the education of the little one, who grew up healthy and surrounded by much affection.

Not more than two years had passed when another fatal news hit the family, now it was the death of Santiago who lost his life in a car accident while returning from work. That event shook Lourdes because she loved her husband and was very close to him but she also had to assimilate that she was left alone with Sebastian who was still very small. The child for his young age could not understand what really happened and what this meant for them, only stopped to look at the continuous cry of that woman who at times embraced him desperately, seeking strength to recover again from that blow that for things in life he had to face.

The days passed and Lourdes was still crying and feeling very sad, meanwhile the child felt confused without being able to understand why she was suffering so much. Six years later Sebastian was attending school, which was far from the village, so his grandmother had to accompany him every day.

Along the way, the neighbors and people they met were very surprised, because of the close relationship they had, Lourdes held his hand and carried his heavy backpack. Sebastian on the other hand smiled dazzled by the long stories she used to tell him.

At school Sebastián maintained an excellent behaviour and performance in his school activities, he was considered a model child, he did not give reasons for complaints to his teachers or classmates, on the contrary he was very collaborative, he liked to share and he was a good friend. All this made him popular and outstanding, many people who knew of his sad story could not understand how he had become that exemplary child and who looked so happy despite his circumstances. Sebastian knew that all his efforts to be a good boy and to be a good student made his grandmother's life happy and made her smile.

Over time, he understood as she grew all that she lovingly did for him, despite so much suffering that came her way. Sebastian just wanted to change his many tears for smiles and set it as a goal and that's how it began to happen.

Lourdes could find in Sebastian a powerful reason to live and be happy, he knew that she was everything to him and somehow that inexplicable child could fill his life with good reasons to start again, after he managed to recover from those two great losses.

For Sebastian she became his center of life, the most important and loved for him, so he valued it, considered it and was willing to give the best of him, despite being very young came to understand beyond the explanations that his life was possible thanks to the love of that woman, all this allowed a certain maturity. Together they resisted that cruel principle that they came to have, but then with time, they were rewarded for having each other, they learned that dreams begin as soon as one wants to have them, that bad moments are left behind when we are able to face them and also overcome them.

So he continued their lives looking for good reasons to continue, aware that during the journey through life some things hurt us but many other valuable things come to heal those deep wounds that pain comes to cause us, but without are eternal strong will not be.
