Danica, my neighbour, who is like my grandmother, is 89 years old. She was born in the village of Tolmin. For her age she’s really good looking. She’s short and thin. She has got short curly brown hair, blue eyes and she wears glasses.
She’s got three brothers Ljubko, Dušan and Milan. She’s also got three sisters Olga, Draga and Cvetka. Danica is the youngest of them all. She lost one brother in the last battle of the Second World War. Today only Cvetka and Danica are still alive. She never had children or a husband.
She lost her parents when she was three years old. After that she lived with her neighbours and later in a boarding school. She became a teacher in elementary school. She liked her job, but she had to work where they sent her and she couldn’t work where she wanted.
After retirement she attended activities for pensioners, such as singing in the choir, learning Italian, philosophy and many more… These activities were later canceled because of the coronavirus. Now she mostly reads books, newspapers, solves crosswords, watches TV and talks with many friends.
As a person she’s very curious because she has always been interested in almost everything, so she knows many people and many different things. She’s cheerful because she likes to laugh a lot. She’s clever, polite and she likes to be in company.
I chose her because I respect her, we have a good relationship and she really likes to talk about her life.
