MIRIAM BOND, SALVE REGINA, HAIL HOLY QUEEN!

Miriam Bond and her memories

Today, The Bonds have had an amazing day. After revising some Telephoning English and creating some guesses about the family, they have been talking about religious people who dedicate their lives to help other ones and who try to improve this world which is crazier every day.

The Grandma has remembered two unforgettable friends: Sister Miriam and Sister Leo. Sister Miriam was a Nicaraguan nun, a wonderful music teacher and a better person. Sister Leo was is a Teresian nun who preferred working with poor people that living rounded by comforts.

Miriam Bond has decided to offer her life to help people who are in troubles. This is the reason because of she's going to travel with the family to San Francisco but she's going to stay in the city, join to Deloris Van Cartier's congregation and she's not going to continue travelling with The Bonds.

The family has a mixed feeling: for one hand, they are excited and very happy because this is something that Miriam wanted to do but, for other hand, they're going to miss her a lot. After Rubén Bond's leaving, Miriam was the only spiritual refuge for all the members of this enjoyable family.

The family, who has returned to New York City for personal reasons before travelling to San Francisco, has been invited to participate in a UNO's Forum named Working in the 21st Century: how to combine family and job. The Grandma has offered a long speech about it, and of course, it's only a point of view which can be different for every member of the family because they're different people with different situations but with a common goal: enjoy their trips, meet lots of people, know incredible stories about different cultures, learn as English as it was possible and think that the most important is to feel fine with themselves to be ready when, in a closer future, they have to return to work again.

After the speech, The Grandma has visited an old friend, Iris Apfel, a great example of success and effort.

I just find myself happy with the simple things. 

Appreciating the blessings God gave me.
