| Mamita Mira & Dad |
Monday afternoon my family was devastated by the news that our grandmother passed away... She is survived by her husband of 70 years, 7 children, 19 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren, we were sad that she didn't pass away in our hometown of Altamira  Our trips to the hometown will no longer be the same, and our house will always be missing something. Thankfully the last time I saw her she was still in good spirits and I didn't get to see her suffer. I'm thankful she was surrounded by our family that loved and cared for her dearly. My mother's mom died when I was about 5, and my father's mother lived in Colombia so I never really knew what it was to have a grandmother all the time. I didn't think her death would affect me as much as it did, and I think it's because I feel my father's pain. I can only imagine the pain he feels and it's for him that my heart aches. "Missing someone get easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day close to the next time you will" I know that she's finally resting in piece with our heaving father and soon enough we'll meet again in his glory! So, i'm not saying "chao Mamita" I'm saying "nos vemos pronto"  |
