Tony Alves – Starting a Home Business

Once the “dust” settled, they retuned to the big city. With the little money they still had, they got a place to live and he started looking for a job. He got a job working at a bakery which was what he was good at.

His goal was to start his own business again. As I am sure you have heard, anybody who has ever achieved financial freedom on his or her own, if they loose it all, know exactly what it takes to get it all “back” again.

My Grandfather was no different. It took him only a few years of hard work to save enough money to get his own business started again. And in no time, they were financially independent once again.

Their son had grown and had become a fine young man. During his teenage years, they enrolled him in the Military Academy. This was very expensive, but it was a thing the rich did at the time.

The Military Academy was a place for getting an education and at the same time learn respect, discipline, etc. The downside though was that the boy grew up without having to work for a living and when he finally graduated, work was not something he was accustomed to. As you will see, this became a huge problem as he got older.

It was at this time that they decided to take a trip to visit their old country of origin and to see the relatives they had left behind around 30 years earlier. They also hoped that the trip would somehow change their son from being a spoiled young man to a man who appreciated the things in life that he took for granted.

My Grandfather had a business partner, so he left his partner in charge of all his business affairs and took the trip which at the time was a sea voyage that took about two weeks.

The year was 1947 (or perhaps 1946) when they arrived in Lisbon. They travelled to the far north where they were from. Actually my Grandmother was from a place close to a fairly large city about two hundred kilometres north of Lisbon called Coimbra where the only University of Portugal was at the time.

My Grandfather was the one who was born in the far north. I am not sure if they stopped in Coimbra to visit my Grandmother’s relatives or not, what I know is that they settled in the far north.

Everything was going as planned, but then the unthinkable happened.

Come back soon for more…
