And how do you forgive a grandmother who he tried to put me against me My Peruvian little brother? I remember very well: I was ten years old, we left for Peru in three, my parents and I, and We are back in four. From that moment I had a beautiful four -year -old little brother! But my grandmother did not agree, she lived below us and tried to give me candy secretly: “Don’t give her to that there – she said – it’s not blood!”.

Fortunately, you, dear Mariarosa, you were more generous than your grandmother… but now that there is no longer – stories – you can’t forgive her. Forgiveness, dear unique granddaughter of this grandmother, is not an act of goodwill, one wake up in the morning and find that the wrong received is gone. Forgiveness is not a magical act: it is a journey, a sacred journey that consists of see the world with the eyes of those who offended us. Do you want us to try, generous granddaughter and sister of a Peruvian?
Here: perhaps this grandmother was not helped to understand the value of adoption, perhaps nobody consulted it and she found herself a grandmother of a little one born on the other part of the world, a small strange, who did not speak her language … And then she, grandmother, made her small vendettas: she filled you with candies and sweets with the order not to divide them with the new … Brother!
She, grandmother, was still inside The logic of the blood Where a small Peruvian could not “live”. And therefore, “condemning” the grandmother is useless, do you think? Also because, you tell it, you give you sweets to the little brother saying: “They come from the grandmother”. And perhaps his rigidity He helped you accept and defend the acquired little brother. Do we want to tell you that we understand this grandmother so “foreign” to your generosity? And then forgiven grandmother, right? A smile for you!
