We laugh. We hug. She kisses me and i kiss back. She feeds me three times a day. She reminds me when i forget stuff. We share so many stories. She don't speak a word of English and i am just learning Spanish.Our communication bridge:
Seconds pass. Pages flip. Finger scrolls down one page to find a word and another and another until together they form a message.Sometimes, even the dictionary and phrasebook is not necessary. We're on the same wavelength so we know what each of us is saying to one another. The power of genuine interest is amazing - it forms a bridge to bring two different worlds together!
Meet my Costa Rican mother, Martha Calvo.
