Even though Father's Day, St. Joseph's Day, is a holiday in the Region of Murcia, this year it will be very different. We are experiencing the exceptional circumstances of being in a State of Alarm, being forced to stay home, and continuing to fight regardless of the date...
We would all want to celebrate this day with an aperitif with family, some "marineras" (local appetizer) and everyone wearing their LUPERs in the sun. We have to stay home, but still keep our spirits up, be creative, and turn the situation around.
Many of us haven't had the time or opportunity to buy that little gift we always get for our fathers, although now that circumstances have changed, one wonders if the best gift isn't spending time with them and dedicating time to them, that same time that is usually so scarce.
Today is our moment, sit with him, it's time. No excuses! If he's not nearby, you can surely make a video call. You're guaranteed to find him at home!
In these times of quarantine. It's time to get to know each other a little better, because every father was once a son and also a grandson... Do you know what your father studied? Where did he go for his honeymoon? And the first time he left Spain? What did he dream of as a child? What was the craziest thing he ever did in his life?...
Perhaps this pandemic has emerged so that we spend more time with the most important people in our lives, to whom we incomprehensibly dedicate less attention in our daily lives.
And once this is over, if your father is still looking for progressive glasses in Murcia, bring him to LUPER, undoubtedly his favorite optician in Murcia, and tell us if you finally dared to ask him curious things about his life.
Enjoy the day with family, even if it's through video calls, and keep your spirits up, because every day that passes is one less day until we can enjoy the outdoors.
Happy Father's Day to fathers, to Josés, Josefas, Pepes, and Pepitas!
Happy Father's Day, LUPER family!
