Ruminia Tacanahui - A different kind of travel

 We were presented with a surprise for me and the most beautiful gift for my sisters.

This happened last year 2022.

My family lives in the south of Peru, exactly in the department of Tacna. In the area where

we live, people admire our family very much for the fact that we are very close!

But when two of my sisters decided to form their family I felt very sad at the beginning: for

me it was something new to apart from them. I could not assimilate it because I

laughed, played, sang, did everything with them really. I liked to tease them, but now I knew

that nothing would be the same.

On June 29th my sister Rebeca (Beky) had her first daughter Reichell Alessia (I chose the

first name at their request and I really love it! Then they chose the second one) she and her

husband were very happy because they always wanted it to be a girl, the first granddaughter

for Alexander's family (my sister's husband), so you can imagine the immense joy.

On October 20, my sister Dayisi's son was born.

"Woooow, a boy was born" I said with joy. I also thought my dad was going to be very

happy: the happiest grandpa! Because he always wanted to have a boy but didn't had one,

and now with the birth of Neytan jhared (guess who had the privilege of choosing the first

name? Me! again what a lucky aunt).

Everyone was saying "wooow the baby boy of the house", the family was very happy,

Neytan, my dad's spoiled grandson, is my sister second son, but the first one is a girl.

There were so many anecdotes shared as a family between laughter and seeing the babies

so small filling us with tenderness and I could not stop watchin them at every moment.

Uffff I learned many things, I meditated on many things, I was really very grateful for how the

family grew.

And I believe that life is a long journey too, worth tell the story.

So why don't start from the beginning?

A new story has begun with endless chapters to tell...
