Milca’s dad had been visiting from Argentina for the past 7 months, and is now on a plane going back. We said our goodbyes last night. He’ll be back some time later this year, August or maybe December. On the way home, I got a little choked up about it. He is really awesome, and what’s more, I think he likes me. See, when he was first coming here I was extremely worried that he wouldn’t like me, or I would make a fool out of myself, or something like that. All he knew about me was what Milca had told him when she went to Argentina a year ago. While there, she bought me two brainteaser puzzles. For those of you that know me, you know that this was a perfect gift. When he first arrived, he had a brainteaser puzzle of his own that took him several months to solve. I solved it in less than an hour. He said that it was okay for me to be with his daughter, as I was smart enough. Since then, he and I haven’t had any “heart to heart” talks, per se, but he does think well of me. I’m going to miss him and his salt-shaking antics.
