Quando ele tinha quase 40 anos, minha mãe nasceu.
Quando ele fez 60, eu nasci.
Agora que eu vou fazer 40, se ele estivesse aqui, faria 100 anos.
Eu gosto de brincar com essas contas e me enganar que o tempo não voa levando consigo o que temos de mais precioso.
Em 2000, eu ia fazer 24, ele tinha feito 84 e só esperou por meu retorno ao lar, olhou para mim, tentou falar qualquer coisa e eu só disse: "pode ir, pode descansar, eu já voltei." Ele esperou eu sair, não me deixou vê-lo indo, mas esperou que eu deixasse minha rebeldia e voltasse para casa.
Meu avô teve muitos netos e netas, criou gente a perder de vista, foi honesto e íntegro, foi bravo e bondoso, eu só conheci o lado bondoso, aquele que endossava minhas loucuras:
"- Deixa a menina!"
"- Quanto é minha filha, o vô ajuda!"
Eu fazia minha parte, que saudades disto, eu ainda acho que ele abotoava a camisa toda errada só para eu arrumar e brincar que ele tava ficando torto ou camisa tinha vindo errada... Eu ajudei na livraria, era minha diversão, eu o levei a muitos médicos e laboratórios, sabia muito bem suas rotinas e ele me adulava por isso. Éramos cúmplices, avô e neta, unha e carne.
Meus filhos me lembram muito dele e como ele teria gostado de conhecê-los.
Saudades que não tem fim!!

The Grandpa Abel
When he was almost 40 years old, my mother was born.
When he turned 60, I was born.
Now I'll turn 40, if he were here, would 100 years old.
I like playing with these accounts and feel fool thinking that time does not fly,
taking with him what is most precious.
In 2000, I was 24, he was 84 and just waited for my return home, looked at me, tried to speak anything and I just said, " You can go, you can rest, I'm back." He waited for me to leave, do not let me see when he was going, but him waited for me to leave my rebellion and return home.
My grandfather had many grandchildren, created us out of sight, was honest and righteous, was brave and kind, I just met the good side, who endorsed my follies:
"- Let the girl do it!"
"- How much is my daughter, the Grandpa helps you!"
I did my part, I miss it, I still think that him buttoned all wrong shirt just for me to pack up and play saying that he was getting bent or shirt had been wrong ... I helped in the bookstore, it was fun for me, I took him to many doctors and laboratories, I knew him routines very well and he flattered me so much. We were accomplices, grandfather and granddaughter, bone and flesh.
My children looks like him and how he would have liked to know them.
I miss him and that has no end !!
