Villa Verde, Macau

Isabella and Marietta Lobo’s dog.

My passion was skating.  I was 4 and on holiday in Macau with Mom and Dad.

After the above “dog taming” exercise . I put my skates on and started down the sidewalk.

I saw a tall, dark man coming toward me and as he passed, he picked me up and carried me, skates and all up the stairs and into the house.

I screamed as loud as I could and began crying.  I tried to kick with my skates, but did not manage to do any damage .  I was hoping he would let me go.

When we arrived at the living room where the family were chatting, I heard laughter and saw my mother.   Crying loudly and blubbering, I was released and Mom held me and told me I was a silly girl and that the tall, dark man was my grandfather, Paco.

This was my first and only meeting with my Grandfather that I can remember.
