I was born in May of 1982. By the decision of my grandfather, I was named Tinatin. I was 2 years old when he died. Listening to figurative stories about him my whole childhood he became trustworthy for I feel connected with him through the things he owned and used to touch.

Those things dear to me are the only ones that make his existence real in my life. And I am Tinatin!
