A Glimpse into the Past - The One When Mangalia was a Country and Her Parents Where the Only People in the World
- “How much do you love mommy?”
- “From earth to sky and back.”
- “Why are you crying little one?”
- “I miss my daddy. He left me here all alone. I miss my daddy! My daddy!”
- “He left me all alone. I want my daddy!”
- “Lord, how she’s crying for Dan!”
- “She just loves him very much.”
- “He’ll come back for you. He went to work and he’ll come back at the end of the week.”
- “We’ll need to run some test to see if there is something else. Otherwise is just a cold.”
- “You come with mommy to get the test done and I’ll buy a Kiss candy-bar.”
- “Please be more gentle. She’s only 3 years old, of course she’ll kick and cry.”
- “She’s alright, it doesn’t hurt. She’s just a fussy child.”
- “Awww it hurts!!! Mommy!! I’ll tell daddy you hurt me!”
- “You’ll tell your dad? Now let’s see if it hurts.”
- “You’re stupid! I’ll tell my dad and he’ll hurt you back!”
- “Shhhht baby girl. You tell daddy! Mommy is here!”
- “Adi!!!”
- “Daaaad! You came back? Did you bring me something good?” - “Even better! I have a surprise for you. Look, who’s there!”
- “I missed you too my baby sister! I’ll never let go!”
- “Calm down girls or you’ll make you daddy cry too!”
- “Alinaaa! My sister, I missed you so much. Never go away again! I missed you so much!”
- “Adina, when you feel like you want to pee wake me up and mommy will take you to the bathroom! Stop peeing all over the bed. You’re already 5 years old!”
- “Mommy, but I can’t help it!”
- “Of course you can! Just try harder!”
- “As it turns out she has a pee infection mam. It will all go away if yo give her the pills I gave. After the treatment she should have no problems of this sort ever again.”
- “And here I was blaming her for peeing every single night. I feel so guilty now!”
- “It’s ok mam. You didn’t know.”
-”Adina, tell me a poem! Come on, tell me a poem!”
- “But Mr. Victor, I want to go play!”
- “You can play after you tell me a poem. Tell your old uncle a poem like only you can tell!”
- “Fine!
Drowsy birds at even gliding,
Round about their nests alight,
In among the branches hiding . . .
Dear, good night!
Silence through the forest creeping,
Lullaby the river sighs;
In the garden flowers sleeping. . .
Shut your eyes!
- “Now can I go play with my sister?”
- “Very good! You’re a natural when it comes to poems. You can go!” - “Thank you!”
- “Give grandma a kiss! Grandma loves you both very much!”
- “I don’t want to kiss you. Let’s go mom, it’s so cold!”
- “I’ll kiss you grandma. Alina, you are bad!”
- “Take care of my girls Coca!”
- “Oh and grandma, take care of our tiny snowman. Don’t let it melt!”
- “Mommy, why are you crying?! Why is grandma sitting in that box?”
- “Granny is gone sweetie!”
- “But if she’s gone then why is she crying?”
- “Yes mommy, Alina is right! Look!”
- “And I didn’t want to kiss her last time. Granny will hate me forever!”
- “She won’t hate you sweetie! She loves you, she always loved you so much!”
- “Yes Alina, she loves you. Granny loves!”
- “But now she will never know I love her too!”
- “Yes she does sweetie. Think of her from time to time and she will know!”
- “Mommy, who was at the door?”
- “He’ll meet us there.”
- “That was your uncle. I’ll get you and your sister ready because we need to go see your grandmother.”
- “Where is daddy?”
- “Stay in the hallway. Mommy will be right back.”
- “But I want to see grandpa!”
- “You can’t see grandpa now. Just wait here!”
- ”Grandpa, are you sleeping? Why are these people looking at you and crying?! Wake up grandpa! Wake up and draw me something!”
- ”His heart stopped mam! I’m so sorry!”
- “Mangalia is not a country! Romania is a country! You’re stupid!”
- “I’m not stupid! Of course Mangalia is a country. It’s where mommy and daddy and me and Alina live. Mangalia is a country right grandma?!
- “Who made you so stupid?! Mangalia is a town! Take example from your cousin Andreea. She’s the smart one!”
- “Mommy where are you taking Alina?! Why won’t you come to school with me? It’s my first day!”
- “Alina will have surgery today to remove her appendix!”
- “Will she be alright?”
- “Yes she will. Just go with grandma Nuta to school. Mommy and daddy are sorry for not being able to be with you on your first day at school!”
- “It’s ok mommy! I’ll be fine! Take care of my sister!”
- “Mommy will see you later ok? Good luck!”
- “Ok.”
