Quincy Jones in this article reminds me of my grandmother or grandmother of Nigeria over 80 years old. Please let me explain. For anyone in Nigeria where the patriarch exists in many places, grandmother, especially the widow's grandmother, is often a powerful energy source. Women chief, they make, break, make, shape and change shape. As a child, if there is a reason to grow fast, I can earn respect. She was warm, witty, ironic and stingy. I decided to keep her in this way, not the last few weeks before she left us.
I am genetically destined: my grandmother, her mother and her grandmother died of heart disease at the age of 70. My grandmother began her first large-scale heart attack in her early 40's. Of course, my mother's genome is sequenced - and, as you can imagine, the genes associated with coronary artery disease are impressive. I am 25 years old next week. I know that it is not at all old. Even though I am tired, I feel still young, even if I feel sick. My heart trembles from time to time even if it is very fragile. I will still sing along with the radio. Eating a birthday cake makes me feel sick just like any other food. It's still sweet because I am taking pills
Winter is coming. I feel a lot of fear in the dark, but there is hope. Using my tools my grandmother and great-grandmother used in their kitchen, I spent the day with my mother and baked a recipe for generations for generations. The act of making is a kind of teaching action handed over through generations so that I can teach my boy someday. I feel very connected and feel consistent. I do not think it is natural. Anyway, it is not today. My grandmother knows that I will be very happy to see my mother burning with me.
