My grandmother left us early this morning. This is the only drawing I have from her while she was signing a book for me. That was a ritual we had. Every year she was giving us some money which had to be spent on buying books only!! We then had to take the books to her to have her signature on the first page. She always had a well-prepared text for each of us. Her handwriting was beautiful and she knew it !
The book in the picture was my gift when I decided to study animation in 2003.
Today in 2010, I'm finishing an animation film. The main character is a grandmother who is not alive and his grandson decides to take the last visit to her apartment before her children move everything out and he remembers one of the most memorable moments he had with her.
She wanted us to study and learn as much as we could. I don't know why , but she seemed to be very very happy that I've chosen animation although she wrote to me in a letter that she preferred me to study computer engineering instead.
But the greatest lesson she left behind for me was the way she used to eat.
"There is no limit for the type of food you take .You can eat everything you want as long as you know when to stop!"
