Det var en stille vinterdag.

It was a quiet winter day.

Sneen faldt blidt over København, og julelysene i byen skinnede klart.

The snow fell gently over København, and the Christmas lights in the city shone brightly.

Det var Sørens fødselsdag, og Freja havde planlagt en særlig dag.

It was Søren's birthday, and Freja had planned a special day.

De skulle besøge Statens Museum for Kunst.

They were going to visit the Statens Museum for Kunst.

Freja håbede, at denne dag ville bringe familien tættere og gøre Søren glad.

Freja hoped that this day would bring the family closer and make Søren happy.

Freja, Nikolaj og Søren gik langsomt mod museet.

Freja, Nikolaj, and Søren walked slowly towards the museum.

Freja havde travlt med at forberede julen og tænkte på alt det, der skulle ordnes.

Freja was busy preparing for Christmas and thought about everything that needed to be done.

Men i dag ville hun give slip på stressen.

But today, she wanted to let go of the stress.

Hun ville fokusere på familien.

She wanted to focus on the family.

Nikolaj gik ved siden af dem.

Nikolaj walked beside them.

Han tænkte på arbejdet og de mange opgaver, der ventede ham.

He thought about work and the many tasks awaiting him.

Men han følte også en skyld for ikke at være mere til stede.

But he also felt guilty for not being more present.

Hans søn havde fødselsdag, og han ønskede at skabe gode minder.

His son had a birthday, and he wanted to create good memories.

Søren gik lidt bagved.

Søren walked a little behind.

Han kiggede rundt, trak vejret dybt ind, men sagde ikke meget.

He looked around, breathed deeply, but didn't say much.

Han elskede kunst, men han havde aldrig fortalt sine forældre det.

He loved art, but he had never told his parents that.

Han frygtede, at de ikke ville forstå.

He feared they wouldn't understand.

Museet var smukt pyntet til jul.

The museum was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Indenfor var der varmt, og der var mange besøgende.

Inside, it was warm, and there were many visitors.

Freja førte an med et smil: "Lad os se noget smukt og lade os inspirere."

Freja led the way with a smile: "Let's see something beautiful and let it inspire us."

De spadserede gennem udstillingerne.

They strolled through the exhibitions.

Søren stoppede foran et stort maleri.

Søren stopped in front of a large painting.

Det forestillede en vinterstemning, lysene så levende ud, og det mindede ham om, hvorfor han elskede kunst.

It portrayed a winter scene, the lights looked vivid, and it reminded him of why he loved art.

Freja og Nikolaj bemærkede hans interesse.

Freja and Nikolaj noticed his interest.

"Søren?"

"Søren?"

spurgte Freja blidt.

Freja asked gently.

"Hvad synes du om maleriet?"

"What do you think of the painting?"

Søren tøvede et øjeblik, men besluttede at være modig.

Søren hesitated for a moment but decided to be brave.

"Jeg elsker det.

"I love it.

Jeg elsker kunst," sagde han.

I love art," he said.

"Jeg ønsker at forfølge det."

"I want to pursue it."

Der blev stille et øjeblik.

There was silence for a moment.

Freja og Nikolaj kiggede på hinanden.

Freja and Nikolaj looked at each other.

Så smilede de begge, lettede.

Then they both smiled, relieved.

"Vi er stolte af dig," sagde Nikolaj og klappede sin søn på skulderen.

"We are proud of you," said Nikolaj, patting his son on the shoulder.

"Vi vil støtte dig."

"We will support you."

Freja nikkede.

Freja nodded.

"Vi kan finde tid til at dyrke din passion.

"We can find time to nurture your passion.

Vi er her for dig."

We're here for you."

Søren følte en varme indeni.

Søren felt a warmth inside.

Frygten var væk.

The fear was gone.

Hans forældre forstod ham.

His parents understood him.

De forlod museet, hånd i hånd.

They left the museum, hand in hand.

Familien var kommet tættere på hinanden.

The family had come closer together.

På vej hjem i den kolde vinterluft vidste de alle, at denne dag havde været en succes.

On their way home in the cold winter air, they all knew that this day had been a success.

Freja følte sig lettet, Nikolaj lovede sig selv at balancere bedre, og Søren havde fundet mod.

Freja felt relieved, Nikolaj promised himself to balance better, and Søren had found courage.

De var en familie i harmoni.

They were a family in harmony.

Snefnuggene faldt stille omkring dem, mens de gik sammen.

The snowflakes fell quietly around them as they walked together.

Det var julemagien, og den gik lige i hjertet.

It was the magic of Christmas, and it went straight to the heart.
