My Homeland through Annabella’s eyes
Filed Under (All about Me, Annabella Octavian) by Stan Davis on 09-05-2011
We’re in my homeland, Romania. Annabella is Romanian, but seeing the modern Romania through her eyes gives me new appreciation for it’s beauty, grace, and the melding of tradition with the present. She’s taken to the Gypsy’s near where my village once stood. They’ve taken to her too, they whisper she’s their long lost Princess. I hear them speaking in hushes tones when they think we’re not paying attention.
We’re going to see her Bunică, that’s Grandmother in English, who raised her. Annabella says she has a family bible with the whole family history in it. I’m anxious to see how far back it goes. For now, I’m enjoying our time here and trying to remember the good times from my human life.
