My thoughts these past few days have been of all the wonderful moments I shared with my abuelita. Sadly my grandma passed away this last Sunday. She was 101 years old! And while I’m very sad that I won’t get to talk to her, I am also quite grateful that I had just traveled to Monterrey to visit her the weekend before.
Despite not living in the same country, my abuelita came to visit us often and I spent many summers with her while I was growing up. For the past few years I’ve had a weekly Sunday call with her. My abuelita shared many stories with me and I will always treasure those.
Of course life keeps moving forward. There are several events going on around town, mainly the Texas Book Festival which I had planned to attend, but now I think I may just try to rest up after the two back-to-back trips to Monterrey. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow.
So, hold your loved ones close and do something good for yourself this weekend. I’m slowly surfacing so I hope to get back to blogland soon.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother a couple of years ago at 93, and I miss our Sunday night phone chats. I’m glad you have so many wonderful memories to get you through this tough time. ((HUGS))
So sorry Iliana, death of a loved is never easy. Thinking of you.
I am very sorry to hear of the death of your grandmother, Iliana. What a blessing, though, to have had such a grandmother, to have her live so long. Mine died when I was so young that I have no actual memories of her.
Your grandmother sounds like such a special person. So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your memories.
I am so sorry Iliana. Hugs and condolences to you and your family.
I’m so sorry to read this news, but I love that you two had Sunday calls. What a special time.
Muchos besitos to you and may those many wonderful memories of your abuelita sustain you during these hard days ahead. Thinking of you and your family!
