Grandma's House

After a tiresome day it was known that a handle in a place not long from here waited to be turned in a wooden carved door waiting to reveal us a special place. My grandmother day to day, morning to morning or night to night, whether the day was bad or good we knew that someone waited for us in a special place. This place made of colorful concrete walls, a Mexican furniture and warmth feeling, were in my childhood playing around those corridors, big rooms, and a small backyard with a lovely dog was the best feeling in the world. There is no quite a similar placer like this, often on the afternoons my grandmother sat in a black leather couch waiting for just a few moments until my arrival, she always was accompanied with a friend that sat at other side of the room, in front of the couch, in a wooden chair were they remembered how time has passed since they knew each other and talk stories of their young age. This special place is where the family gets together in this colorful house, of course before me this was their very only special place, this walls remember how through time and generations of my family all stayed the same, you could look at the same walls that saw time pass and heard our stories, old walls I must say but colorful and full of good times. I remember entering in this place, watching this couch and hearing her warmth welcome with a very tasty food prepared on the table, you look around and your eyes could only seeing a bunch of photos and family stories on the colorful walls surrounding you, this is when you felt you were the right place, a special one. It was known that my grandmother prepared the best of the best food you could’ve imagined, certainly made this special place even more special, felt like perfect moments in life. Sometimes bad days happened and you could not find a reason to these days, yet you knew that someone special in black leather couch waited for you, to hear you, advice you and love you. A special place where you entered in a different world and you were a kid again, where the memories strike you, where you live again, where a warmth welcome waited you, and where a special person eagerly waited for you in a black leather couch.
