Me: Hugging my granddaughter, #princess2015la as she explains the Oregonian beads on her bike.
#princess2015la: Sorry, Grandma, I am going to miss you while I go biking.
Me: It’s okay; you are going to have fun with your grandpa.
Two bikes are loaded into the bike rack.
Do you want me to give you some money?
#princess2015la: I don’t need money, Grandma. I don’t (with emphasis), she said.
Me: Oh, I like hearing that. It means to me that you see beauty wherever you go and that you can play with anything you find.
But ask Grandpa to buy you ice cream. He buys me that when I go biking with him. Do you know he has taken me, his children, and now you bike riding on the beach?
I forgot he also took his mother tandem riding at the beach, restoring the use of her legs, while I supervised her walking 4 miles around Lake Merritt in Oakland, with her husband, Enrique, Sr.
Enrique, Jr., requested that I supervise his mom walking, while he attended an activist meeting. Then after, we all went camping, and my mother-in-law, Felisa, got to walk much better. While walking, she had eagle eyes, detesting me, not her son. I kept telling her I was just following my husband’s request.
