SHARING LIFE STORIES

By Pedro Cunha

I will write the story of my grandmother, her name is Ignes, she is very smart and a little bit stuck up. She was born in 1930 in São Paulo, she had two children, my mother and my aunt. My grandmother never had a job.

She told me a lot of stories about travels by ship to other countries like France, Italy, Portugal etc… She travelled a lot because my great- grandfather was a wholesaler so he needed to travel a lot.

In her travels to Europe by ship she met a lot of new people, and made friends and boyfriends.

One day she was traveling to France and a thief tried to rob her purse in the ship! My grandmother was really afraid because the thief threatened her.

But a man called Aldomyr punched the face of the thief and save my grandmother.

A little bit later my grandmother got married with Aldomyr and he became my grandfather.

They are together until now.
