When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

María del Pilar Salinas, the Oldest Person in Honduras, Turns 112
María del Pilar Salinas, the oldest living person in Honduras, celebrated her 112th birthday in Catacamas, Olancho, on 12 October. She is the oldest documented person to have ever lived in Honduras.
María del Pilar Salinas was born in Gualaco, Olancho Department, Honduras, on 12 October 1914. She was orphaned at an early age, as her mother died when she was 10. She had no formal schooling; she acquired literacy through an adult education program, initially learning the alphabet and later reading the Bible. She never married but had two partners, with whom she had 10 children.
When asked about the secret of her long life, she said: “God, he keeps me alive“.
