     At the time of my birth, my grandfather held the opinion that the first-born child should invariably be a male, but that since I was both as beautiful as special, in my case, he was willing to make an exception. Ever since I was born and way before my first memory, I know through my mother’s comments and her remarks, that my grandfather was totally devoted to me.

     There are a vast amount of reminiscences of my childhood, inextricably linked to my grandfather. Among all these recollections, one stands out, forever present, with all its clarity and in each minute detail; it has impressed itself in such a way that not even the passing of the years has diminished it, in the least bit. These particular memories live with me in the recesses of my soul, and I will carry them lovingly to my grave.
