At the beginning of the chapter Rold tell us when his oldest sister (Astri) died from appendicitis at the age of 7 , like his own daughter (Olivia) that died from measles also at the age of 7 years. Astri was his father's favourite so weeks later when he had pneumonia, he refuse to fight because he wanted to go to heaven with his daughter. His mother was left with 5 kids and one coming, and she refused to accept the help of anyone, even her parents. She also wanted to educate his kids in an English school just like his death husband wanted. She also thought to move to England but she was not ready for that yet, so she decided to sell their big house and they bought other smaller one.

He . also remember sitting in the stairs trying to tie his shoelaces and going to . the school in a tricycle with her oldest sister. He remember that was fun.

Our memories The first thing that came into my mind was when my grandfather died.I was 6 years old i woke up as it was a normal day, but neither of my parents were there,me and my sisters were left at home alone.My biggest sister knew that my grandfather had died but my other sister and i did not.That’s why she didn’t let us to answer the phone, i went to take a shower.But when i was looking for my clothes my grandmother and my parents arrived home and entered to the room were i was, they were all crying and i didn’t understand anything.A minute later they threw me the bomb that my grandfather had died, my reaction was “ok” and i continued choosing my clothes.But that was only because i didn’t understand what it was,after a while my sister took me to the bathroom and explained me everything that’s when i started to cry like my eyes were raining.I couldn’t stop. 11
- 12. ✘ Other memorie is when i was around 8 or 9 yeras old. My mother told us that she was pregnant, all our family was very happy and anxious about it, but months later something happened. One normal day my father came to pick up me and my sister to have lunch, that was wierd because mom always looked for us, but we did not care about it, maybe we were going to a restaurant, but nothing like that. We look for mom, she was in her bedroom, crying in her bed like never in her life. Seconds later my dad started crying too, so we asked what was happening, and that was when they told us that mom had lost the baby. It was a very sad week, but 1or 2 years later Manuela came to our lives. 12
