2 families. 1 house. 70 years. 3000 miles.

June 4, 2008 By Marta Darby 4 Comments

Who are these people?
Valentin Prieto Famila They are my friend (from Babalu blog), Val's grandparents.
Why is that important right now?
Umm…. well, I get very emotional when I talk about this.
So just read the story here in Val's own words.

WARNING: Get Kleenex first.
