Today I went to buy some newspapers because your father asked me to do so. The layer of snow on the ground was soft, almost invisible. Your father wants to someday read the newspapers of the day you were born. I think a nice idea. I bought two newspapers, one national and one local. I also asked several friends who get the papers where they live. I bought mine in a corner store next to the pet store where we buy food for our cats (in the windows of the pet shop is home to three huge fat cats happy frolicking all day using the sun). Both newspapers cost less than three dollars. The Lord of the store, he gave me the impression of being one of those forty years that appear to sixty-five to tip ill-chosen gestures and gray hair, was dressed in a sweatshirt adidas brand and looking for something under the counter. It took a few minutes to realize he was standing in front of the box. Beside the box was journals, pencils and sweets for sale. When I looked up and I think that cost him understand why I expected. Just look at me after a couple of seconds he noticed the papers on the counter, which had been revised, saw their prices memory in the box and gave him a twenty dollar bill. Once I got the lap back to their searches under the counter. I wonder if when you're twenty years this description will make sense to you. I think, as I leave the store, these newspapers are not rare because they talk about the day of your birthday for sure when you grow up any computer will let you back in time efficiently, but because they are paper documents that still made sense when you were born but soon left to exist.
At 9:28 am, when you were born, I worked a little bit (ended up writing a research project), take you and playing with my cats. I hope you do not have allergies (your contemporaries co-nationals are full of them) and that one day you know. Gonta, the smaller of the two, is five months. Pliny, the elder, is three and a half. Sometimes they want and sometimes hate. Theirs is a difficult friendship. Today around noon, when I received the message telling me that you were born your father, Pliny was very angry with Gonta do not know why. Long-bristled and meowed as warning that this time was serious, then he jumped and rolled around the neck. I had to separate them and reassure Pliny. I think that abuses the good grace Gonta Pliny and every so often runs out of patience.
Monica came a while ago of his work. Right now she is studying mice that have eating disorders (a byproduct of his research on the brain) and want to understand why the mutant mice will not eat or do not process food properly. Monica said that today was in the animal house (where the mice are born) and saw two very proud mice each with six newborn mice crowded. Then I showed him the pictures that your parents sent us. You look like an angry troll. Surely in a few years will tell you it took you more than necessary to leave. In the photos it is clear that for you you had stayed inside your mom your whole life.
Tonight
ate a potato omelette with onions and a chocolate banana sorbet. Monica was accompanied with pan con tomate. Now we're in the room. On television is giving Law and Order. The story is gruesome and violent. Cats sleep (Pliny on the sofa in a box Gonta medium to destroy the seized yesterday). Monica check things on your computer. Morning to discuss whether we will see Avatar, a film that debuted today and, I suspect, will disappear forever before you are old enough to see it. It's sad because it is assumed that it was a very expensive film. Certainly when we see tomorrow impress us, but suffice two or three years for any striking effect of that film to be trivialized and the novelty wears off. I hope that when you start to see movies there is still enduring film that survives the test of time. I wonder if when we know you look very old. I wonder if you think that the music we love is music of old. I wonder if one day your parents will complain about the music you like. How is this music? What will be so distant from us than we think, what we think is the world? Will we be able to understand you? Do we hate for being old and backward? Do we adapt to your world?
Dear
Ana Leonor, with this little letter I wanted to welcome you to this planet in the name of Monica, Pliny, and I Gonta. We're happy you've come and we hope soon to meet you and show tunes. This has been a nice day.
