‘You are not like other parents’, – a mother of my daughter’s friend tells me. ‘But really, – I continue. ‘After not seeing her the whole day while I work, I can’t wait to pick her up from the kindergarten’. That is so true. It gets crazy sometimes, but every day I can’t wait to […]

I am not about the new year resolutions. But this year I have decided to make one. It is not the usual ‘I’ll start something this coming year’ resolution. It is ‘I’ll stop something this coming year’ resolution. In 2023 I will stop asking London boy to come and see me. Because I still do. […]

‘A man has two women. One he lies to, the other one he tells the truth. Which one does he love?’ ‘Of course he loves the one he lies to’, I think to myself. He lies to her because he wants to protect he. So it means he loves her. Right? Wrong. As soon as […]

She has finally learned to say it right. Almost: ‘I love you… infinity… back… infinite times’. I had been telling her this since the day she was born: ‘I love you to infinity and back infinite times’. It’s so rewarding to hear her say it back. My daughter is a talker. She does not stop. […]

‘We are in prison’. No kidding. I never thought I’d see a message like that from my sister. My sister! Who is a well behaved, intelligent lady, way less attracted to risky activities than I am. ‘You are?’, – I texted back incredulously. I wondered what on earth could a family of 5 do, to […]

Life is beautiful because looking back you can see the path you’ve taken, from the very beginning to the exact place where you are now. It seems that sometimes we make small, insignificant steps, but they may grow into a wonderful path, and reward with lifelong relationships. ‘Yo soy porque nosotros somos’. It was another […]

‘I wish I had two legs like everybody else. But God must have had his plan. I am happy’. That is the post that I had seen on Facebook. It touched me. Not only because of the person who had said it, who had no legs. But also because only recently I managed to say […]
