PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My grandmother has different kinds of ceramic figures. She collects them since she was little. She has Chinese ceramic figures, in the shape of an elephant, on the shape of the bird. She has big ceramic figures, small ceramic figures. She like them a lot, she loves to show them to guest. Specially one of an elephant she got on the India. It’s like a really small pink elephant carved with who knows what and incrusted with not even she know what but she likes it. I could suppose she lived the time of her life at that time and that’s like a reminder of what she lived at the time. You can look it in her face, is easy to say that she is really in love with that one piece. She is the best grandmother she is a 86 year old woman. With the positivism of a teenager, imagine the moment I arrive to her home and she exclaims did you bring the beer! Put it over there! I just laugh and ask histories about her travel she went to almost every corner in the world and she decided for these ceramic figures to to tell each story of her life. I can’t count the amount of those ceramic figures, if I start I could spend a day or two for sure counting this little figures. She visited China, japan, All Europe almost every part of Africa , Australia, in south America I think she missed Chile, half America and a quarter of Canada, she loved to travel when my grandfather lived they went since the moment they married to vacations like three or four times a year to different parts of the world after my grand father died my grandmother continued that tradition of travelling and goes away like for two weeks with all her friends. She knows a lot about cultures and the traditions of every place she went. And those ceramic figures represent a little bit of those cultures. Great woman, great mother and a fantastic grandmother, I love her and one day I’ll try to complete her collection and do it mine.
