On Sunday our little family, including David, myself, William, and Walter's other grandmother-Malachi's other great-grandmother-Loretta, went down to Dover, Delaware to see Walter, Lourdes, Malachi, and the rest of Lourdes' family.
Malachi was everything that I expected he would be. He was so laid back and comfortable and he was always smiling this little grin. He has taken to nursing easily and his mother is a real trooper to be able to relax enough when she is in so much pain from her vertical Caesarian Section.
Malachi rarely cries; when he does it is because he is hungry and then he goes right back to sleep. His parents have been blessed to have such a good baby.
Lourdes family, several generations, live in the home with her, Walter, and Malachi. Theirs' is a very loving and warm home and everyone pulls their weight to support the family.
I met a young lad of six who is Lourdes' nephew, his name is Carlos. He is very bright and respectful and he is a lot of fun to play with. When we went out to lunch with Lourdes' family, Carlos sat next to me and we color-crayoned and played Tic-Tac-Toe. He won at least half of the games which made him very happy, and I just enjoyed his company. He honored me by calling me grammy and I can see that we are going to be good friends for all of our lives.
Lourdes' mother is a very much loved queen in her family. She is unwaveringly kind and gentle but when she speaks all of the family listens. She speaks in two languages, but she is most comfortable with Spanish. I just love her. She is able to talk without words, just speaking with her eyes-which are so expressive-and what she speaks is LOVE. I am so delighted to have her for a friend and hermana (sister). It is exciting to join a new family, especially when they are so loving and open to new members. We will have a life-long relationship with this family and I look forward to learning and understanding even more about the Puerto Rican culture and language.
Thank you for returning to my blog and being so supportive of my ideas, and feelings. We should be off and running now with new blogs on a regular basis and I do thank you for hanging in there with me. Our next blog will catch you up on the status of the book and tell you how I am now able to lose weight on a regular basis and begin to enjoy new health benefits-I am now a food renegade. I also need to catch you up on my attempt to use the 12-Step program to improve my life and gain control over my sugar addiction.
Have a wonderful day, and the rest of the week, and may you touch love all of your day long.
