This blog is dedicated to our daughter Hannah, who was born in Glendale, CA on May 19, 2006. Hannah will grow up bilingual (Spanish-English) in LA. Because I realized how difficult it is to find quality materials in Spanish in LA, I have decided to create this blog. I am hoping that Hannah and I will share this blog and that other parents who are interested in bilingualism will find the blog useful.

It's hard to see your parents getting old
It's very hard to see your parents getting old. Especially when they have always been strong and not scared of anything and now suddently they are terrified about death. They know it's coming, this is what is happening to my dad. He escaped from the 2nd WW, was a child who travelled all over, from Italy to Morocco, back to Italy, from Italy to Israel, then to Brazil, Uruguay and finally entered illegally into Argentina where he has lived ever since. Never afraid of anything and now terrified and angry... Difficult year for the Kamhi family!

humm, I know how you feel. My parents escape from something similar. In exchange they never had an education. I used to be jealous of people with parents who are this profession and that profession b/c I always thought my parents have so much to share and give to the world. yet, it was cut short. They work long hours and get pay very little, but somehow they manage to pull it off so that we don't know what is really happening. And as I watch them age this last year, I soon realized that I better get my life together, so that they can retire, so that I can take care of them. The thought of death is scary. that's why you have to enjoy every moments with them. We should be less angry and more understandable.
