New name is: "CUCHUCA" or "LA CUCHUCA", which is the nickname of my Mother. My grandfather whom I never met ( died young ), used to call her that when she was young. The meaning of the name still unknown.
I called her and asked for her permission, and to my surprise, She was very happy about it !!!
She even asked me to take her for a ride, and I will soon.
That brings a story to my mind; When I was very young, prob 7-8 y.o., my uncle Pollo took his boat to a house we were renting on the beach, and called us all for a ride, I jumped in, of course, but my beloved mother could not climb into the boat, no matter what we did to lift her inside. So she stayed behind, and I had a blast ( that got me into loving boating ), but the picture of watching my mother staying behind by herself on the beach, waiving at us, gave me a very strong guilty feeling, and took me years to get over that. Now the guilt is gone, but the memory has not.
