to meet my grandparents, whom I have never seen in person, and I would like to learn Spanish..In a small village in the hills, lived Giovanni and Rosa, an elderly couple who had shared over seventy years of life together. Every morning they sat on the old wooden balcony, holding hands, remembering the days when their children ran around the house and the table was always full. But now the house was silent. The children were far away, caught up in life and work, and rarely called them.




Rosa began to forget things: her husband's name, where he was, even who he was. John, with a broken heart, told her their love story every day, hoping that at least once she would remember. When Rosa died in the spring, Giovanni stopped going out on the balcony. He spent his days sitting by his empty chair, talking to a framed photo.




One autumn evening, with the sky red with melancholy, Giovanni fell asleep for the last time, whispering Rosa's name. No one noticed immediately. Only the wind, passing through the light curtains, seemed to cry with him.
