I am a very blessed human being because for a big chunk of my life I lived with my grandparents. All 3 of them: 2 grandmothers and my one grandfather, my Mom’s dad died before I was born so I only had 3. I miss them all terribly.
If this house could talk, it could probably tell me all the tales that were told by my grandparents that I no longer remember or probably because I was too into the things I had to do to even realize that there were tales to have note. I had like some “package deal” with my grandparents. My grandfather picked me up and dropped me off to my indoctrination camp. My grandma, his wife, would actively would be cooking in the kitchen while my mom’s mom was sewing things for everyone. I remember cuddling with them when I was kiddo. The many pictures I have with them speaks for itself. I loved being in their arms. I loved it when they would sing and dance all throughout the house.
But they spoiled me rotten. I don’t know how to cook my grandmother’s dishes because she twarted me in the kitchen when I wanted to cook. When I wanted to learn how to sew, I was pushed aside from that as well. I am only good at cleaning because no one really stopped me from doing it. It’s like they “knew” something about me that I didn’t. That generation tended to keep secrets from people and I wouldn’t doubt that they saw something in me that they kept to themselves.
Both sides of my family gave me lots of people in my life. I have plenty of cousins, Aunts, Uncles and even family friends because of my bloodline.
There were so many things that my grandparents taught me that its hard for me to put into words right now. Only when it would come up in a chat or a trigger, it would make it easy to remember.
I know that they are watching over me. I can FINALLY hear them and feel them when the need arrives. I am truly blessed that I have some of the most awesome humans to be by my side as I went through this thing we call life.
Thank you Lolo Ben, Lola Loly and Lola Ester.
I love you all very much and I miss you dearly.
This is beautiful, DD!
