HISTORIA DE UNA PIEDRA - THE HISTORY OF A STONE - by rock artist Loli Gambin
La pasada primavera cumplí 50 años…. y tuve mi pequeña fiesta con la familia. Siempre nos juntamos en casa de mis cuñados (“El Campito”) y con todo su cariño lo decoraron con mi color favorito y con detalles que sólo ellos saben que me harían feliz.
Last spring I turned 50 ... and I had my family organise a little birthday party for me. We always meet at my brother-in-law’s house: "El Campito". With all possible affection, they decorated the house in my favourite colours and details they knew would make me happy.
Tras el apetitivo y la paella (en Valencia no hay mejor forma de celebrar una comida) llegó el momento de los regalos. Toda mi familia sabe de mi pasión por pintar piedras, de lo que me ha ayudado en momentos complicados esta terapia de sentarse frente a una e imaginar cómo quedaría después, lo feliz que me hace regalarlas y que gusten a quien las recibe..
After the entrées and the paella (in Valencia there is no better way to celebrate a meal) it was time for gifts. All my family knows my passion for painting stones, how this has helped me in complicated times, what a good therapy it has been to sit in front of one rock and imagine how it would be later, how happy it makes me to give my rocks away and make others happy too.
Los regalos, en principio, nada tenían que ver con mi pequeño hobby, hasta que llegó la tarta imitando una maceta de cactus como las que pinto, pero aún tenían que llegar como nosotros decimos, “los niños”, mis sobrinos y sobrinas. Como una pandilla que va a gastar una broma, entre risas me trajeron su regalo ¡¡¡un pedrusco!!!, aquello era tan grande que no podía uno solo con ella.
At first, the gifts had nothing to do with my little hobby until the cake arrived imitating a pot of cactus like the ones I paint. Soon after though, “los niños", my nephews and nieces arrived in laughter with their own gift: a rock! It was so big they thought there was nothing I could do with it!
Loli receives her birthday surprise.
Quizá pensaron que la broma iba a quedar ahí.
But the joke did not stop here
Inmediatamente me puse a pensar cómo transformar el regalo en un agradecimiento, aquello tan rústico debía transformarse en un recuerdo para todos, esa era la manera de devolver tanto amor como estaba recibiendo.
Immediately I began to think how to transform the gift into a thank you memory: a gift for my family to return this much love I had received.
En las fotos veréis la historia de esa transformación, en la que acabé dibujando a todos los miembros de la familia caricaturizados como abejas, cada una con una característica personal que le identificara. Estarían ahí para siempre la reina madre (mi suegra, mi segunda mamá), el karateka ( Javier, mi hijo pequeño), la matrona (mi cuñada Elvira), el scout con su brújula (mi hijo mayor Ramón) , la enfermera (mi cuñada Julia), el jugador de vóley y el de béisbol (mis sobrinos Antonio y Mario), el cocinero, porque siempre nos cocina (mi cuñado Manolo), el ciclista (mi marido), el heavy (mi cuñado Toni) y todos los demás hasta completar esta familia tan numerosa.
The photos show the history of that transformation. I ended up drawing all the members of the family caricatured as bees, each with a personal characteristic that would identify them. The queen mother (my mother-in-law, my second mother), the karateka (Javier, my little son), the matron (my sister-in-law, Elvira), the scout with his compass (my eldest son Ramón), the nurse (my sister-in-law, Julia), the volleyball player and the baseball player (my nephews Antonio and Mario), the cook, because he always cooks for us (my brother-in-law Manolo), the cyclist (my husband), the heavy (my brother-in-law Toni) and all the others until completing this large family.

El proceso fue divertido, imaginar que característica era la más señalada de cada uno para que luego se vieran identificados en la piedra. Fue como repasar mentalmente a cada uno de ellos. Les iba mandando los bocetos al grupo de WhatsApp y nos reíamos adivinando quién era quién. El resultado les gustó a todos y se sintieron identificados.
The process was fun, to imagine which feature of each family member was the most indicated so that later they would be identified in the stone. It was like imagining each of them differently, as bees. I was sending the sketches to the WhatsApp group and we kept on laughing and guessing who was who. Everyone liked the result and they managed to identify themselves with my drawings.
La piedra volvió finalmente a su sitio, al lugar de la celebración, a “El Campito”, la casa de mis cuñados porque es ahí donde todas las abejas nos juntamos formando un perfecto panal.
The stone finally returned to its place, to the place of the celebration, to "El Campito", my brother-in-law’s house, because this is where all the bees come together to form a perfect honeycomb.

Espero que os haya gustado esta pequeña historia, para mi fue muy especial poder devolver de alguna forma todo lo que ellos me dan. Eso es para mi pintar piedras, repartir un poco de amor con cada piedra que pinto, aunque siempre recibo más de lo que doy.
I hope you enjoyed this little story. For me it was very special to be able to give back in some way everything that they give me. This is what I do with my painted rocks, I share a little love and I always receive more than I give.

Hello Everyone,
I want to publicly thank Alliance Digital Hack, a group of professional private investigator and a certified expert in Bitcoin Recovery Services. Their assistance in helping me recover all the money I lost to fraud was top notch and unbelievable. An online manipulation artist who represented themselves as knowledgeable and experienced in the field of Crypto investments conned my wife and myself. My $356,000 worth of funds were put into cryptocurrency. I was left helpless after the fraud tricked us and had to spend hours looking for a Crypto recovery service to get my money back. The specialist I found was Alliance Digital Hack. I just had to be patient after describing my situation to the expert and all of my money was returned to my wallet in less than 72 hours. Thank you Alliance Digital Hack for your excellent assistance in getting my money back. If you are interested in hiring there services, they can be reached through their contact details below.

All you need is to hire an expert to help you accomplish that. If there’s any need to spy on your partner’s phone. From my experience I lacked evidence to confront my husband on my suspicion on his infidelity, until I came across ETHICALAHCKERS which many commend him of assisting them in their spying mission. So I contacted him and he provided me with access into his phone to view all text messages, call logs, WhatsApp messages and even her location. This evidence helped me move him off my life . I recommend you consult ETHICALHACKERS009 @ gmail.com OR CALL/TEXT +1(716) 318-5536 or whatsapp +14106350697 if you need access to your partner’s phone

MY CRYPTO RECOVERY TESTIMONY 2024
I just wanted to take a moment to share my incredible story of recovery and gratitude. As a woman who recently underwent surgery on my kidney, I was already dealing with a lot of stress and uncertainty. But what made it even worse was when I was scammed out of $44,000 in a cryptocurrency investment that promised me a return of $84,000. It was devastating to think that I’d lost all that money and would have to go into debt to cover my surgery expenses. But then I found Jetwebhackers, and they changed everything. They worked tirelessly to recover not only my initial investment of $44,000, but also the promised profit. I was blown away by their expertise and dedication to getting me back on my feet. Thanks to Jetwebhackers, I was able to pay for my surgery without going into debt. It’s been a huge weight off my shoulders, and I’m so grateful for their help. I know that not everyone has had the same experience as me, but I want to encourage anyone who’s been scammed or is struggling to get help from Jetwebhackers. They’re truly amazing professionals who care about their clients and will do everything they can to get you back on track. Thank you again, Jetwebhackers – you’re the real MVPs!"
