My dad was a person who worked hard to give his family everything and be able to handle his best. One day my family  and I made a trip to Ecuador to go the beach and my dad bought us handmade thread bracelets for me and my brothers almost all the same. On April 16, 2016 there was an earthquake on the beaches of Ecuador of a magnitude of 7.8, that ended with the life of my father by a wall of a building. A day before this happened my father bought those bracelets at a beach hut made by an older lady. It is important to share this story because there are many people who do not take advantage of the time with their families. This bracelet represents me because it is something that my father gave me when I was 11 years old and I decided to put it on my ankle so that I never lost it and until today I have it on my ankle.
