Frustration still consumed my mind when I awoke today, so I went out for some breakfast. As I was sitting there eating my eggs, a family of five came and sat at the table right next to mine. There was mom and dad, one little boy, and two younger girls. One of the little girls, who was clearly mentally handicapped (not down syndrome, but possibly autistic), came and sat on the seat right next to mine, practically in my lap! I'll admit that I felt a little awkward, as such moments can be, but I come from a large family with many little cousins who climb on me and always ask me to play their little games they create. I'm used to children. So, I just smiled at this young girl and her parents. Then her mom asked her daughter, "uh oh, do you have a new boyfriend?" The little girl nodded her head, smiled, and hugged my arm and laid her head on me. We all laughed. Her father apologized as he got her situated in her seat.
I know this doesn't really have much to do with Spain, but it was cute and worth telling everyone.

That was a cute story. Maybe she was a little angel telling you it will all be okay.
Keep up the good work.
