Time With My Tita
May 7, 2006 by alex0825
Happy birthday to my tita who just turned 73 years old. I’m glad she’s staying with us so we were able to give her a proper treat. Actually, if not for Pam, I wouldn’t have remembered the date. She woke me up early to accompany her to the grocery store and once there I asked her why she was buying pasta and sauces. I was surprised and yes, a bit ashamed at my so-called “manly” kind of memory that’s not properly attuned to memorize dates like these.
So we bought cake, a small tube of Selecta, and lots of sweet corn that we all had for merienda, after that heavy pasta lunch. Too bad the digital camera’s memory was full already, otherwise I could have taken shots of my tita blowing the candle on her cake – truly a rarity.
She’s the last of three Marias that included my mom……
