The Faithful
Keeper
When I was a child, Christmas only started once grandpa placed the bolo-rei on the table and,
taking advantage of the confusion, smiled at me while stealing a sweet without grandma noticing.
Afterwards it was father’s turn, getting up early in the morning to pick up the bolo-rei every year. Now it’s up to me.
Christmas’
mischiefs
Even now that smell takes me back to those early days when family love greeted me with a slice of cake that I shared with my white hair buddy,
quietly feeding him under the table the raisins and the sweetmeat I didn’t like.
A Shared
Treasure
It was also during a moment of sharing that my family first came to be, when in between children’s games,
in a moment when I required courage, someone with a nice smile and golden hair shared with me that snack we always wanted to keep just for us.
A Singular
Light
From that moment on, I have nurtured a wish to share with others something valuable.
Even when being with friends already filled my heart with joy, I still couldn’t shake the will to create singular moments where everyone might feel cheerful.
Familiar
smells
In the end, undoubtedly, it is to family we come back, the mirror of we are and of what our story is,
of the years it took us to understand there are friendly faces we want to keep by our side forever, not just in memories…
