After the merienda, we gave them the presents. My grandma opened up hers with the excitement of a child. While she was unwrapping up her gift, I remembered the many presents she gave me for my birthdays or for the Wise Men day since I was a baby. She always knew what I wanted as a present, I've never needed to tell her, she knows me very well.

At the end of the day, it was time for dancing. Tables were removed and those who cannot walk were placed in their wheelchairs in two rows, with a clear space in the middle to let the rest of the people dance. The orchestra animated the atmosphere playing old songs, and people were slowly losing their shyness and started to dance lively. I danced several pieces with my mother, we both like it very much. Later, an old man invited me to dance, like in the old times, and he thanked me kindly when I accepted. Wow, I was astonished by his ability to dance pasodoble!

I've enjoyed this day so much! The smile in the eyes of these elders warmed my heart with joy and hope. Although their bodies are tired, their souls are still young and want to enjoy every day as much as we do. I'm glad for having had the opportunity to spend this day with them, while the flame of life is still shining in their hearts.
