Today, I had a lot of time to remember and think about a lot of things.
A whole lot of memories came flooding back, and most will remain sequestered! Ahem...
However...
I just got back from a little adventure...
I rode over to a previous residence, and met/found a friend there!
To make a long story short, his aunt has terminal cancer and tonight he wanted to go see her. I tagged along, thinking I would stay outside near the vehicle, and wait.
Yet I am in Yuma...
So as I friend of a family member, I am also considered family! And I was quickly ushered in and introduced to mi tia! Seems that my friend was a sobrino (nephew), and this was his aunt. The fact that I was there, instantly made me part of this extended family!
My broken Spanish, and equally broken English/translation by family members, made me the instant celebrity! I am sure that they were mostly congratulating me on my attempt to converse... yet I did pick up on a few words that I realized, some jokes were being passed around too!
A bit out of my element, yet I still was able to meet someone, and offer I bit of advice to her and the family members that were the caretakers.
Tonight, I gained and Aunt (una tia)! And a few more family members too!
