IVAN:
I arrived at mexico Friday evening, thank God it was Nana and papa that picked me from the airport. I was not ready to face Mum and Diana just yet.
"look at my boy! He got tanned" Nana joked as she hugged me.
"come on Nana! You know that's not possible"
I laughed remembering when I was younger, I would lay in the sun all day with the hope of getting tanned only for my behind to get burnt and run to Nana for her magic touch. I finally gave up when I was fifteen and accepted that my skin wouldn't tan.
"You only seem good at burning your butt" Nana kissed my head .
I chuckled "I missed you Nana!"
"I got my bags packed already" she replied
"Told you I'll get the message across"
Papa interjected "I think I finally realize where you got those genes"
Nana was papa's mother. As a child Nana lived in Atlanta before her parents moved to Spain, at age twelve her adventurous parent moved again to Norway where they stayed til she was sixteen before returning home. When Nana turned eighteen she travelled to London where she stayed with her aunt three years, she finally came home where she met grandpa Pablo. They had three kids papa being the second child and only male.
My aunt Fernanda lives with her husband and child in south Africa, My other aunt Louisa lives in Argentina with her Argentine husband and two kids, looks like papa who refused to catch the adventure fever passed the gene to his children .
My father married a mix raced, Teresa woods. My mother's mum Ma perry was Mexican while her father pa woods was English. In other words my papa married a half Mexican woman and stayed in Mexico.
Grand pa Pablo died almost ten years ago from stroke after he and Nana returned from another of their trips, Nana was really devastated yet she strong the whole time .
However, she was living her life to the fullest now and enjoys the constant competition between her children and grandchildren over who will house her for the next months and, this time I get to keep her.
The drive home was relaxing as Nana filled me in on everything that happened in SA.
"Nelson said he'll come visit Nigeria soon" Nana told me. Nelson was my nephew from Aunt Fernanda. The lad was eleven and I'd like him to meet Rufi.
As I open the front door Callie's "mi hermano es el hogar! esta en la casa!" I had my little sisters love.
"Si amor! Soy en casa" i replied as she races down the stairs and swing into my arms.
"I miss ya so o much" she screamed and tightened her hold on my neck. I must have gone pale because Nana stepped forward and tugged callie.
"If you miss him that much then don't strangle him"
She let go "I wasn't trying to strangle him" she looked mortified " was I?" She looked at me
"No" I replied quickly, hating to see Callie like this.
"The girl has you wrapped around her little finger" Nana said "If you hadn't looked so white I might have believed you"
No doubt I'd do anything for my little sister.
"¡Ay, No!"
"Come one cal, I need you to tell me everything about Denmark" I smiled at her.
"Come on then" she dragged me towards my room.
"Come down in time for dinner" Papa called after us.

RUFI:
Ana-Blaire and I saw Ivan off to the airport this morning and I knew secretly he felt special though he kept on complaining about how we shouldn't be up that early. We left home as early as five this morning.
