Helena, 65. Luxembourg - Sophia and Felix came into this world, no yelling, no screaming. There are two new small players in a story that in part has already been written, a story that is said by some will not future, but for others will last forever.
Sophie weighs 2.2 kg, 2.4 kg Felix. Not bad for twins born with three weeks in advance. Mama Alice, however, does not cease to shed tears on the white hospital pillow. Little Sophie was in fact a kidney problem, and that his tiny little body cenitinaia few hours has already been violated by all sorts of needles, needles that now impose the soft little head.
Sophie's grandmother called Helene and Felix, and lives in a small town in northern Luxembourg, on the border with Belgium. Every day, to dry the tears of his children, through the middle of a hurry while small Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, a village after village. I met
Helene yesterday morning, in one of my days without racing and delays. BUS 265, the one that brings me Dondelange every day in downtown, has gone with 2 minutes early, and the next one would pass 30 minutes later, too late for my French class. I hitchhiked. Ten cars went faster without even stopping (hitchhiking is illegal in Luxembourg), Helan then stopped, and with a huge smile welcomed me for a few minutes in his great universe.
We talked in French and Italian. Helena has a passion for southern Italy and every year since Alice's father passed away, with a group of friends, visiting a new place in the Italian south. This year, in September, will be the turn of Sicily: Palermo, Cefalu, Castelbuono. While
Helena spoke, telling of his first time in Paris at age 40, and his marriage in 1970, his two other children and the restoration of the ruins where he still lives today, her cheeks, already ruled by age , bathed in tears and memories.
Ten minutes later we were in the city center. We greet with affection. I'm back in my little life of self-centeredness, her in his great universe of dedication and support.
