I know it was taken with a terrible camera and also the light is terrible, but this is one of the last pictures with my grandma. I don't remember who tooked it, maybe one of my sisters, but was in February, 2015, in el Tabo, Chile.
My Grandma's name was Balsamina, like the flowers, but we called her "Lela". She was like a fairytale grandmother and a brave woman. She left her abusive husband with two kids and pregnant in tough times for women, and she also loved the ocean.
This was in the afternoon, and a cold wind started, so I lent her my scarf for cover her. That day I went with her to dip our feet in the sea, and suddenly she told me longingly and with tears in her eyes "This is the last time that I'm going to see the sea". I hold her hand and told her that we already have planned the next year vacations in a house with ramps for her wheelchair and I promised to her that we will be there next year seeing the waves. She just look at me and smile.
She was right, she pass away just on February, 2016, just one week before the vacations.
We all loved to her so much, and still loving her, I miss her every day with her brights eyes. When I got pregnant always dreamed about her, she would have been so happy with her great- grandson. She is my role model, I wish I could have just some more minutes for lie down with her, but I will always remember her with her sweet smile.
