Tomelloso Nativity


By cstandt - Posted on 11 January 2012

Since then every fortnight Eulalio invariably come take me a coffee with milk or juice and after telling me that the residence and there is much work to care much who goes in and out of it, by the thing that people are friends with the alien, is running until the next fortnight. One of those Monday in the house that appears Eulalio told me that he would soon be her birthday, I inquired about their personal tastes and told me he had everything, scarves, socks, cologne, scarves, shoes, candy, snuff ... In order that left me not knowing what to say. Well I said, I can not buy anything. Yes, if I want to buy me a car. I looked at him not believing what he said and he kept saying his dream was to have a car. I gulped and looked at the old man who was being a resident of the homes for thirty years in sorrow. I can not buy this gift a lot of money.

No, no, he replied, if not a real car, what I want is a toy car of those who give them to a button and walk alone. I returned to be speechless looking at his small eyes full of life and illusion. Smiling I said that since child dreamed of having a toy car because I've never had one. The excitement left me speechless and I felt that life is a puzzle and a surprise when we enter that affects the heart. One day last summer my daughter ordered Diana to buy the car and they both deliver what the goal of the residence. I swear I have never seen anyone with a face more illuminated Eulalio's face when, after teaching the remote control handle saw the car sliding on the floor of the goal and the corridor.

A Monday in December at home told me that the Mother Superior and finalizing the crib and he dreamed of being King Gaspar back as last Christmas. But things will live Eulalio were Gaspar Christmas without being king, he had to assume the crown to another elderly resident. I did not ask what a gift he wanted for Christmas, we think home Eulalio not mind starting a private collection of cars targeted. After another of those Monday I said the problem of the Euro, now and in spring, Eulalio handled perfectly with the new currency and continued coming to tell special things about a singular world and unique. Yours. Of an old man who feels being the goalkeeper made a nursing home in one of our people.
