It felt like only yesterday when Silvia and I stood hand in hand, uncertain of what the future held after the Loma Prieta earthquake. Fast forward through three decades of love, laughter, and life lessons, and here we are on the cusp of a new adventure—grandparenthood. As we eagerly await the arrival of our first grandchild, we invite you to join us in a heartfelt conversation about family, memories, and the invaluable role of grandparents. Silvia, with her infectious excitement for her soon-to-be "G-Ma" moniker, shares stories of the past and dreams for the future, emphasizing the significance of passing down tradition and joy.

This episode is a small window of our life's journey and the legacies we're eager to weave into the lives of our grandchildren. We unveil the essence of grandparenting through the lens of our own experiences, from the cherished moments with our grandparents to the values we plan to impart. Silvia reminisces about dancing to the rhythms of childhood songs and how it shaped her creative spirit—a gift she's prepared to bestow upon our grandkids. Together, we navigate the evolving landscape of what it means to be a grandparent today, celebrating the stories that connect us and the anticipation of creating new ones. So, pull up a chair and gather 'round as we share the joy, the wisdom, and the playfulness that grandparenthood promises to bring into our lives—and perhaps, inspire you to embrace the beauty of this enriching family bond.
