GRANDMA’S WISDOM

My favorite thing about being in grandma’s house are the family archives. I saw dad in his 40s with a whole moustache and sis in her tomboy/timberland era. Then – my own wedding albums – awkward… I asked grandma should we discard them? “Reka Reka- Iri n’icumbi ry’urugo. Uri intwali ya papa kandi waduhaye ibirori byiza. N’uwo mukwe yambereye umwana sinamwanga, nagende mumahoro. Ahubwo Imana ishimwe ko twatinze kumanika kugikuta, tuzahashyira umushya…” ——— Certainly not. This home contains all our family’s history. You are our daughter and that was a beautiful wedding you gave us. He was my son, I cannot wish him ill, may God guide him. I’m just glad we were slow in hanging pictures on the wall. We will hang your next husband. Now, THIS is home: Love & Jokes Galore.
