The woman in the left is my grandma Dona Dina and the man next to her is my grandpa Joaquin. They are the two cutest thing in my life.
Impossible to describe the love and admiration that I have for those two creatures.
My grandpa went on to my grandmother's parents farm and ridding on a horse he kidnapped her. He got her on the back of the horse and ran away with her. They have been together for over ... 60 years now. So much water passed under their bridge... My grandfather became blind of both eyes when he reached his 20's. Depressed for facing his whole world turning upside down he became a alcoholic and violent - by the way that was far long before I was even born.
Time went by, Life did teach him and her lots of lessons and they survived to all obstacles life can bring. They became a stronger couple. My grandfather learnt how to fix cookers and ovens and became an expert in fixing ovens and cookers - at that time people used to fix things and not only thrown them away to then buy new ones.
He became very famous in the small they live for working so hard and being such an expert even though being bling of both eyes. My grandfather would receive phone call from clients asking for him to go and fix their ovens and cookers. He would then jump on the bus and find the client's house and fix the problem. He was interviewed for several TV news, News papers and became a sort of local celebrety. He built two houses of his won - one of them that he rents out to have an extra income.
He not only learnt a new career but the most important he learnt how to become a better husband, a better father and an amazing grandpa. He is the sort of man that will take his hast everytime he is talking to a lady and will always call a woman by her surname using Mrs and Miss - something very unusual in the actual Brazil (shame I know).
My grandma also learnt, she became a very strong mother, caring and with the most beautiful laugh I know. Her laugh is contagious and hides a lot of sorrow from her past that time turned into wisdom.
I love them two as I never loved anyone else in my life and I cannot describe such feeling.
PS: i forgot to say but one of the stories I love most is that them two exchange Valentine's gifts every year for over 60 years now - C'mon that's something else!!!
