Today, many years ago, my first granddaughter was born.

Good morning, friends. Today is a special day for Carolina, for Claudia and for me. Today, 30 and some years ago Carolina was born. Claudia asked me how did I want her to call me but I told her that Grandma (in Spanish would be fine. Mi husband though, full of vanity, refused to be called Grandpa and until his death he was the children´s Uncle. When the children wanted to play with him, they ran up, called him grandpa and ran away. My husband would then run after them and rough play would begin. I remember Tania´s then husband and the father of her first sons telling me that he envied the capacity of my husband to play with the children. He just couldn´t even though he was not 30 yet. I tried to call Carolina buy she did not answer. I´ll try later. Happy birthday, I messaged her. And wrote her to imagine that I was singing the Happy Birthday song with the same voice that a thousand years ago Marilyn Monroe had sang it to the President of the US. (After writing that I thought that she might not know who they were). See you dear friends.
