My grandmother was very special in my life. She took me to kindergarten. She was my favorite person because she was the only person I deeply cared for. That’s why it was a very big process when I found out that she had an illness and had to be admitted to the hospital. I remember how it was very cruel when we made a video call and saw her laying in the hospital bed. I couldn’t be with her because I was very small, and misbehaved and so I couldn’t be with her. I was very confused because I couldn’t see my grandmother since she was everything to me.

Toda mi felicidad es gracias a ti

Y si yo me muero volvería por ti

My grandmother was very warm when she came back from the hospital and very tired because she didn’t like being in the hospital. When she took me to school, in my neighborhood where I lived, it was a very small school and not many children attended, there were very few. I didn’t like going to school every day but I felt good when my grandmother took me. She held my hand to walk down the street with my backpack. Her hair was very long and black. She had a lot of hair and it was abundant. She took care of her hair with Head and Shoulders shampoo and it smelled very fresh. She loved it. She was very pretty and she dressed in very pretty dresses and skirts. Her dresses had flowers and stripes and they were of many colors, but purple was the most common. I saw her as very big because I was very small and she always bought me strawberry yogurt. She bought the yogurt from a very close store and her brothers were very close to the people who owned the store. The yogurt was very delicious, the texture was very soft and very rich texture.

Me siento grande por ti

Y aunque lo intentara no podría sin ti

My grandmother was sick with a brain tumor and would get sick often, but suddenly she became seriously sick and in an emergency she was taken to the hospital. After that I didn’t see her much because she had surgery and she wasn’t the same. She couldn’t talk after having the surgery and I couldn’t see her for many days. During this time I was left alone with my aunt because of how sick my grandmother was. I missed her so much as she always dropped me off at kindergarten. I would remember how she would pick me up after school and we would walk home hand in hand with my hair tangled from the girls who picked on me. The girls would pull my hair and ruin it and my grandmother never yelled at me for it. After a long day we would often eat together and yell at my older brother to eat with us.

Se quedan cortas las palabras realmente

Y a Dios le doy gracias porque estás aquí presente

She left me with very beautiful memories of her, when she took me to school and picked me up, our walks to her house and my hands in hers. I remember her hand feeling very soft like a cloud. I also recall eating delicious food with her. Although I was accompanied by my aunts and cousins, at the end of the day I only ever wanted to be with my grandmother.

Quiero que sepas que te amo eternamente

Que cuando dije “sí”, lo dije para siempre

Thank you for loving me as much as anyone else.
