Um Avô Baboso!

Por Artur/Leiria e Nicole

(Com fogo de artifício à mistura…)

Nota: Aqui vão umas letrinhas queridas de encorajamento, da minha neta mais velha, por saber que estou de certa forma envolvido nos blogues dos marujos, colegas dos anos de lá bem longe! É, ou não é, de um avô ficar baboso?

“Hi, my name is Nicole Rothwell and I am the proud granddaughter of Artur Sousa. I will be attending the University of Guelph in September for Bachelor of Arts and Science and I will hopefully then continue on in my studies to become a vet. I hope to do work in wildlife rehabilitation to help the endangered species of the world.
Even though this has always been my dream, grandpa has wanted me to become a dentist. We would continually joke around and he would marvel at how dentists just looked in people’s mouths for thirty seconds and a couple hundred dollars later, it was done. Although he would joke about this, he has been supportive of what I want to do and encourages me to do the things that I love to do.
Grandpa is a kid at heart and so much fun to be around. I know firsthand that his family and friends love him very much. He enjoys talking about himself and his many interesting experiences that he has had throughout his life. Specially now with is old friends. Grandpa also enjoys telling jokes to make everyone around him laugh because he takes pleasure in seeing people happy. He plays with all his grandchildren in a way that makes them feel like he is not only their grandpa, but their friend as well. I have so many amazing memories that involve my grandpa from when I was growing up. He would break out in dance with me, sing songs with me, and take me to all sorts of places. He was always there for me, my mom, and everyone else in our close – net family. I know that no matter what he will always love me and be there for me through everything to come.
I am the person I am today because of my grandpa and the rest of my loving family. He has taught me many things and he has always had patience for me and his other grandchildren. I am always overjoyed to see him and I really love spending time with him whenever I can. He is an amazing person and I could not have asked for a better grandfather, ever.”
I Love you Grandpa!
