It was my second day at Abuelitos and Dona Suzy had me working in the kitchen. I was handed a knife and preceded to chop frozen cantaloupe until my fingers were red with numbness.... and that's when I knew I had to get out of the kitchen for good.
After finally escaping the wrath of frozen fruit, I joined a group of abuelitos in their morning exercises (which involves stretching, wiggling fingers and twirls). After loosening up our muscles, Dona Suzy told us partner up, close our eyes and stand facing one another, palm to palm. And as such we stood, in silence, for almost five minutes, after which we were asked, "¿Como te sentían?" (How did you feel?) My partner raised her hand, smiled at me with her eyes and said, “I felt very loved. I felt so much love."
