Love & Friendship

Valentine's Day always brings tons of memories. There's people in my life that had made of a simple day, something totally wonderful; sadly some of them are not longer part of my life, but will always be part of me.

Can't help to think of my grandpa Pit who used to give me candy on this day. I can always smile when I think about him, he had a way of making me feel so special, kinda unique & I miss him deeply.

V-Day makes me think of 3 of my dearest friends: Idaly, Monica & Sulema. After all we've spent some Valentine's together, sometimes celebrating our "freedom", some others simply trying to forget we were alone in such a romantic day =P No matter what the reason was, just wish they could know what they mean to me; no words can explain how blessed I feel that I can call them my friends. Thanx for all the great times together, for the laughs, for the tears, for the "I told you so", for the pieces of advice that sometimes weren't really welcome; for the ups and the downs in our relationship that has keep us together since we were twelve, gosh, that means we've been friends for 18 years, WOW, we're officially old hahaha.

Lots of memories getting up together, some of them stronger than others... Yours is well preserved, maybe because it was my first Valentine that felt like it mattered. We're not friends anymore but that doesn't mean we weren't before. Thanx for being one of my fave Valentine's memory along with the TeddyBear & his Kisses.

Men In My Life

February is the official month of Love & Friendship, therefore, I'd like to make a post of 3 of the men that I love the most. All of them own a special place in my heart; they're part of me & I will love them forever.

To make this fair enough, I'll talk about them in order of age =D, which means I'll start by talking about my grandpa.

His name is Salvador Peregrina Mancillas, but for my cousins & me, he's simply grandpa Shava ♥. I love that man with all m y heart, he's such a example, kinda hero for me cuz he has achieved a lot of the things he set his mind into. I will never forget how he took my tiny hand when I was like 5 years old and we were at San Felipe and he taught me that I shouldn't be afraid of the sea. While everybody was having fun I was simply staring cuz I didn't dare to get into the ocean, he saw that and went straight to me, held my hand and said "Come, you're with me and nothing will happen, the water is really nice at the moment for you to be missing it". Grandpa has always been big & strong, so all my fears went away when he took my hand & we got into the ocean together. I treasure that moment deep in my heart ♥

Now's the turn to talk about my dad ♥, his name is Sotero de Jesús Peregrina Buelna, but everybody knows him as Güegüenche or Güegüe.

My dad has a free spirit, he owns the kind of soul that could never be tamed & that kinda makes me admire him. He's a very uncommon man, with a very complicated way of thinking & often, it's kinda difficult to understand him, but there's no doubt about that he has a great heart. My dad has had his own weird way of teaching me lessons in life, and I have to admit that one of the greatest things is that I know that I can talk to him about anything & he will try to understand before even thinking about judging me.

He taught me how to weld, which doesn't happen that often when you're a woman. I love baseball cuz of him & I kinda think we share the wildness in our souls.

Last but not least, I'd like to talk about the man that dared to share his life with me. His name if Getjan Demming ♥, and he happens to be my husband.

Janjan is someone very special, he owns an unbelievable ammount of patience; he has giving me the most pure form of respect in love. Most of the times I get along with crime cuz he kinda doesn't know how to say NO to me. We've had our ups & downs but I know there's no one else I wanna share my life with. Most of the times I see him as a big child, he can be the cuttest thing, very silly & funny, some other times he's like a grumpy old man =P but well, he loves me deeply & I'm very thankful for that ♥.

Janjan has a very unique way of dealing with my weird moods, he knows when I need my space & when I need a hug. He has forgiven my mistakes & accepted me just as I am, he's the reason why I try to change who I used to be & improve myself every day.
