I got off of social media as it wasn’t fun anymore. Your writing is my favorite, thank god for substack. My deepest empathy por su abuela. She was gorgeous & free spirited- that picture tells us everything. Hold her in your heart. I know that she is & will continue to watch over YOU. Aside from the cards, you were her spiritual twin. Have a happy holiday season, (she wouldn’t want it any other way 💯🌹)
Thank you for writing this. I felt exactly the same way about my abuelita. My brother, sister and I spent so much time with her and my abuelito during the summers in Colombia while my immigrant parents worked back here at home. I cherish every single one of those days. Playing parques, going to la tienda to buy cilantro y plátanos, eating as many empanadas y manzanas postobon as we could gorge ourselves on- no parents to stop us! I can’t imagine my life without them and am so sad that that part of my life seems so far away now. Truly a gift and I am better for having spent so much time with them.
What a joy to read about your grandma. Absolutely the highlight of my day. To have loved someone as glorious as she was is a gift -- for both of you. I am so sorry that your family's light has dimmed with her loss, but know that you will surely carry her torch. What a muse she will be! Wishing your family peace.
I lost my Aunt Barbie, my mother's only sister in a family of 6 six children, to kidney cancer last weekend. And the anniversary of their father's death was 12/18. It does make the holidays bittersweet, but it also gives us a chance to remember them while we're all together. Very sorry for your loss, thank you for sharing your grandmother with us. Tonight I'm going to have some Ben and Jerry's in honor of my Aunt Barbie, who always had fancy ice cream in the house to enjoy.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You write of her so beautifully - I imagine how proud she’d be. She sounds like an amazing human. Again I’m so sorry for your loss
Las abuelas son algo especial. Son ese amor incondicional y sin restricciones. Combinan los mejores abrazos con la sabiduría que bien se ganaron. Siento mucho tu pérdida. Que sus memorias y sonrisas sigan vibrante en tu memoria siempre. Un abrazo solidario.
Estoy llorando (y mucho).
Jamás te lo perdonaré, pero muchas gracias por escribir esta maravilla.
Te quiero.
Gracias Santi 💚 un beso grande, te quiero
