Cucu I sit now quietly in front of a grand piano in my cousin’s living room. My cousin‚ Lana‚ is speaking to me- she had me over for lunch to discuss the family- yet I am distracted by the large instrument that takes up almost half the room. I can only assume the baby grand was once a shiny black‚ though because its keys have been played numerous times‚ its color is noticeably faded.

After reading over the topics I immediately started to think back in my memory‚ as I am conditioned that way. I didn’t think of anything that could be described as "most important". A lot of people (adults) would answer‚ my marriage‚ the birth of my children‚ but nothing could be filtered out as the single most important moment.

With each passing year my eagerness faded

I lived my childhood and adolescence in Brazil‚ during the decades of 80 and 90.
