When I think about my best child memory, I immediately see an image of my grandfather that I
loved so much! I used to pass my child vacations at my grandfather and grandmother’s house in the
country side. There I was so happy and liked to hear my grandfather's jokes, listen to his stories and songs.
I remember too the day when my mum bought me my first real camera (at the age of 13). And I was taking
my first photos with such pleasure and joy! Later, I took lots of other pictures, but the first ones, especially
the one I took of my grandfather, when he was sitting on his chair in the family garden, looking straight in
my eyes, will stay the best I ever did in my life. So, when I think about my best child memories, I look at this
photo that I have always near to me, and remember my dear grandfather!..
