The best gift we can offer our children is time. Dedicate time and quality to them. Time to play with them, to read stories with them, time to listen to them and to educate them, of course. This tale, 'My dad is very busy', serves as a reflection for us to realize that we often forget what place the most important thing, our children, occupies on our scale of values.
Alberto's father was a very important and busy man who worked so many hours that he often had to work on weekends. One Sunday Alberto woke up early, and when he heard his father open the door to the street to go out to the office, he ran to ask him:
- Why do you have to go to work today, daddy? We could play together ...
- I can not. I have some very important matters to resolve.
- And why are they so important, daddy?
- Well, because if they go well, they will be a great business for the company.
- And why will they be a big business?
- Well, because the company will earn a lot of money, and it is possible for me to be promoted.
- And why do you want to be promoted?
- Well, to have a better job and earn more money.
- How good! And when you have a better job, can you play with me more?
Alberto's father was thoughtful, so the boy continued with his questions.
- And why do you need to earn more money?
- Well, in order to have a better and bigger house, and so that you can have more things.
- And why do we want to have a bigger house? To save all those new things?
- No son, because with a bigger house we will be more comfortable and we will be able to do more things.
Alberto hesitated for a moment and smiled.
- Can we do more things together? Great! Then go quickly. I will wait as long as it takes until we have a bigger house.
Hearing that, Alberto's father closed the door without leaving. Alberto was growing up very fast, and his dad knew he wouldn't wait that long. So he took off his jacket, put down his computer and his diary, and as he sat down to play with a surprised and delighted Alberto, he said:
- I think the promotion and the new house can wait a few years.
