And in evenings she would invent short stories with happy ending but main caracters would be somebody or something from our neighbourhood, be it person, animal, vegetable...whatever. She subscribed us on weekly edition of fairytales (four fairytales a week)and on Sunday would take three of us to our village church for The Mass in time when in school we learned socialism.... Thank you Paulo, you reopened that part of my life again ! I inherited optimism as my mother kept on telling me :

What have I inherited? We are all born with the same innocence, openness, acceptance and trust. We are taught prejudice, doubt, fear etc from our experiences as we grow up, but I am lucky in having inherited a positive attitude from my Mother. She simply wouldn't accept 'can't' as being a valid word in our vocabulary. Even though I can remember protesting vehemently that I 'couldn't jump high enough to land on the moon' or 'couldn't turn myself into a fairy' I was always told that if I wanted something badly enough I could achieve it. This has probably been the most valuable inheritance from my youth and I have certainly tried to pass on this philosophy to my own children.
