"Grandpa, I have something incredible to tell you," I exclaimed, my voice brimming with contagious joy as I sat down beside him. “Really?” His eyes widened with curiosity, his expression urging me to share my news.

"Like some kind of inheritance." I blink. "Most parents like telling the stories to their children." Liliana adds. "It's like folktales, but we all know it's true." "I have, once." Amelia says, and all head snaps to her. "You have?" Janny gasps. "How many years are you for real?"

Though he often masked it with humor, there was a loneliness in his tone. We fell into easy conversation after that, and I quickly found myself lost in his stories. Grandfather had a way of speaking that drew you in, his words painting vivid pictures of the past. “You wouldn’t believe the trouble those boys caused when they were little,” he said, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
