Lave toi les mains…
Lave toi les mains, wash your hands… that is what I heard Nonna Clemy tell me on every occasion I was about to do something… She told it to all her children, grand-children and great-grand-children… It was her trademark which, I hope will be passed to the coming generations…
Today… with the wave of influenza around us we can hear Nonna’s voice saying “Lave toi les mains”… I remember, every time I was going to see my little Tikva I had to “Lave toi les mains”…. We are a strange family, and we have strange customs… so next time you go and wash your hands… think of my Nonna Clemy saying “Lave toi mains”

Dear Ivo,
I was also thinking to Nonna Clemy these last days with this H1N1 virus. You're right, she has delivered this message to her grand grand children... And I love see my sweet daughter washing her hands, and she loves doing it! Nonna Clemy is still with us, with Mahel too even if they did not meet together in this world... maybe in another... maybe through us...
I love you, I kiss you
Angela
