Ours grandparents This morning, I was reminded of my grandmother. I decided to call her and only hear their cries about not be able to see the things clearly, can't be able to walk without support or eat anything you like. I listened patiently each complaint and thanked God each. My grandmother is the only one of my grandparents who are still alive. She has a great desire to live more and more, despite their already well-experienced 90 years old. I wondered what it takes to have such high expectations of wanting see as well like at past or be in places that now she can't be. How long would your expectations? Days? Weeks? I thought of this immediacy of life that makes us want more, as soon as we live. Grandparents are for me one of the best things that happen when we are born in a structured and happy family. Since we are babies, even though we are fed and raised by our parents, are grandparents who become our references. One of my favorite movies is The Dreammers, directed by Bernardo Betolucci. I like movies that encourage dialogue. In one scene, two young men discuss about their parents and the problems they face with them, until one of them concludes: "Parents of others are always better than ours, but our grandparents are better than the others." I found a funny phrase. And true. We never used complained of our grandparents. I hope my grandmother remains the best for over years and years. I will miss this superiority when she is gone.
