May I introduce you to Guillermo “Memo” Monroy which I had the great honor and pleasure to get to know personally and become friends with. Memo is Xacinta’s abuelo (grandfather) and is a charismatic artist in the tenth decade of his life. Born in the early 1920′s in a working class barrio (neighborhood) of Mexico City with many brothers and sisters he became at the age of 16 a student of Frida Kahlo, one of the most famous mexican artists of the 20th century. Frida accepted due to her health problems only very few students, in fact 4 in total known as the “Fridos”, Memo is one of them.  Although Memo suffers due to his age a lot of maladies and has lost a major part of his eyesight, his spirit is still high and its such a gift and delight to listen to what he has to tell and to watch what he gave and still has to give to this world. 

He has been a wonderful “speech giver” his entire life, but after experiencing real excitement at a party almost two years ago, his brain cells couldn´t really take that happiness and gave him some kind of stroke, in fact he had to learn to speak again and to everybody´s surprised he did it. Now, he complains that he says “one thing for another” or forgets words but at the inaugural speech of his art exhibition he gave us some words, so full of love and strength that we all felt like having been struck by a thunder.
