225- Wilfred- “Ai tregon- He does tell” - 4-26-2024

Wilfred- “Ai tregon- He does tell” 
10 October 877 

‘He does tell us every night that he trusts us to make our own decisions’ 
My daughter says to Quixol who is curious at her statement  
And a bit surprised that I would put that much trust in my children 
I do not make a single decision for them or their wellbeing or welfare  
They make it themselves  
I feed them 
The rest is up to them  
If they want to survive  
They have to figure it out on their own 
It will help them transition out on their own  
When they set up their own homes and families 
So why should I not start them off young  
In making their own decisions for themselves? 
 

After all it is their life!  
I nor my wife  
Will be here forever  
What will happen then  
When then are an adult 
With the attitudes  
And the behaviors of a child? 

What good of parenting have I done then?

224- Wilfred- “Ju tregoni- You do tell” - 4-26-2024

Wilfred- “Ju tregoni- You do tell” 
10 October 877 

You do tell the best stories 
My sister-in-law Quixol tells me  
Smiling at me 
As she speaks softly in Catalan  
It is like you were born for it Wilfred 
It is truly a gift.

223- Wilfred- “Unë them- I do tell” - 4-25-2024

Wilfred- “Unë them- I do tell” 
10 October 877  

I do tell my sister-in-law  
Where to take a walk 
When she does not want  
To talk anymore.

222- Wilfred- “Ata po tregonin-They were telling”- 4-25-2024

Wilfred- “Ata po tregonin-They were telling” 
10 October 877  

Quixol and her sister were talking to each other  
They were telling each other how much they missed knafeh and cheesecake  
And I turned around and said I could have  
Amiri over to talk to them about his business 
Whilst he and I made the knafeh together  

Her sister looked surprised that I knew how to cook 
I just laughed it off  
Not even insulted in the slightest.

221- Wilfred- “Po thoshim- We were telling” - 4-24-2024

Wilfred- “Po thoshim- We were telling” 
10 October 877 

We were telling Quixol about our favorite spices 
And she was surprised that we liked cumin and oregano 
I pointed out to her that we had a variety of religions in Spain 
She nodded silently and grinned  
Then asked me to make lamb stew for her for the dinner tonight  
Miro and I grinned at each other in triumph
