Babushka had taken a little breakesito during the hot summer months. Meaning September wasn't hot here Up North in The South? JU SO FONII!! Of course it was, pero it was also BB's Bday mes, so palabras and parties were in order. Aqui, the article written for Conexion Florida, a previous hardcopy, now online publication. Moviendo con los times...
Hola,Hola,Hola Beautifuls!
Another birthday is here.. What was the win this year?
The answer came surprisingly fast.
Babushka made it to another year.
That's the win.
Sí, Beautifuls, some years are like that.
Sweetie has been gone three years. Then Pedro passed — Sweetie's cat, the last living piece of her husband BB still had. One Adios inside another.
Casa BB hasn't cooperated: a leaking techo, mold, electrical problems, and a crumbling trailer — all maintained on about $900 a month from a widow's pension.
Then Roxy needed a transmission. The warranty? Did Nada. The actress had one gig. Type 2 diabetes joined the cast, too. Gracias a Dios, it's controlled.
So where's the fabulous?
Finding the Fabulous in the Familiar does NOT mean pretending everything is fabuloso. Loss hurts. Money worries are real. Roofs leak. Carros break.
It means viendo valor in the diario: café, music, laughter, a timely call, y familia.
BB's two girls live with her now. Sometimes Mama is the caretaker; sometimes she is cared for. Accepting care es parte de family, too.
None of that repara the roof, brings Pedro back, or fixes Roxy.
Pero it helps make some dias lighter. Perhaps that's enough.
At 63, BB loved, lost, worried, laughed, cared, was cared for, found the Fabulous inside the Familiar — and kept dancing.
Another year. Estás aquí.
Beautifuls... Still Here.
ESO!!!
Happy Cumples BB..
And mucho, many, más.
CUIDENSE
BB2U
