1000 days

• Spanish version

What does one thousand days mean in a person’s life? It’s equal to 2 years, 8 months, and 27 days.

It’s probably time for a child with shiny eyes, excited to begin deciphering their first words from a colorful and funny book, after watching their father read the newspaper every Sunday.

Or the time it takes a student to finish their beloved professional career or the career they were obliged to study.

Perhaps it’s the recovery time for a person after suffering an accident or an injury, or the time needed for rehabilitation after addiction or psychological issues.

Maybe it takes time to master a complex skill, learn a language, or perfect movements in a sport.

That time could be ideal for a person to make one of the most important decisions of their life: asking their partner for marriage.

It might be time for that employee to finally receive the long-awaited promotion, or for the employee who chose the company for its stability but has inexplicably been fired.

Will one thousand days be enough to face and accept the loss of a beloved person? Is it enough time to overcome the pain of death?

Is this enough time to forgive someone, rediscover compassion, and put aside resentment? Is it sufficient time to find peace within oneself?

What does one thousand days mean for you?
