Buenos Tiempos

Journaling:Abuelita Flor and Bis-Abuelita Emma going shopping right after Abuelita Flor got married. There were not that many cameras at that time, a photographer approach them and took a picture.

I am so glad; we could see the stores in Piura (Peru) were I was born.

Memories

Journaling:I was getting older pictures from my Mom when I found this picture of me. She stared at the photo with a smile and said: “We didn’t have a camera and your Dad contract the photographer to come to our house to take the picture. He was supposed to come at 10:30am. However, he showed up at 6:00am. We were going to change but he was in a hurry and told us don’t worry you guys will not show on the picture. We put you on the tub and your Dad start playing the harmonica trying to make you smile. We didn’t get the smile, you were so scared. Later he gave us the picture. We were both there and I didn’t even do my hair. Funny, it was still one of our favorite’s pictures of your Dad and I.”

Sweet Dreams

Journaling:Since you were born every night I sit on the rocking chair and sing you to sleep. Now, that you are getting older. We don’t have a rocking chair anymore. We read our story, we recite our prayers and we still sing to sleep (most of the time you giggle), and go over your day. There is nothing more precious for me than these times. I wish, I could hold them forever.
