My grandmother
Egled Lopez Ochoa

My grandmother was a great grandmother, however, in her life, she had many stages. As a woman she was a young, vibrant and beautiful woman, she was full of life and very striking, she was quite intelligent and given to solving her problems.

Mi abuela fue una grandiosa abuela, sin embargo en su vida tuvo muchas etapas, como mujer fue una mujer joven, vibrante y hermosa, fue llena de vida y muy llamativa, era bastante inteligente y dada a resolver sus problemas.

She met my grandfather early in her life but not romantically, they were second cousins, grandfather was a cousin of my grandmother, however, it wasn't until they reached early adulthood that my grandfather noticed my grandmother's beauty and intelligence.

Ella conoció a mi abuelo pronto en su vida pero no de manera amorosa, ellos eran primos segundos, es decir, abuelo era un primo de mi abuela, sin embargo, no fue hasta que ellos llegaron a la adultez temprana que mi abuelo se percató de la belleza e inteligencia de mi abuela.

My grandmother and grandfather became engaged in their 21st and 22nd respectively, when they married about three years later, they were both already more focused on life and felt ready to pursue, and form a life together.

Mi abuela y abuelo se comprometieron en sus 21 y 22 respectivamente, cuando se casaron unos tres años después, ambos ya estaban más centrados en la vida y se sentían listos para proseguir y formar una vida juntos.

Then began my grandmother's motherhood stage, in it, she had nine pregnancies. There is an anecdote of how my grandfather was left to care for the first baby who was sick from birth due to a cardiac condition, during the birth of their second baby, the first one soon died but they didn't give up, they had five children in total.

Luego comenzó la etapa de maternidad de mi abuela, en ella, tuvo nueve embarazos. Existe una anécdota de como mi abuelo se quedó a cuidar al primer bebe que estaba enfermo desde nacimiento por una condición cardíaca, durante el nacimiento de su segundo bebe, el primero pronto falleció pero ellos no se rindieron, tuvieron cinco hijos en total.

These are my uncles Edgar, Milagros, Ricardo, and Jesus. They are in order in the photo below but in the photo, they are all except my mom, who was born not so long after that photo was taken, only a few months, after that my grandparents had no more children. In the photo below my uncle, Ricardo is absent.

Estos son, mis tíos Edgar, Milagros, Ricardo y Jesús. Están en orden en la foto de abajo pero sin embargo en la foto salen todos excepto mi mama, que nació no tanto después de la toma de esa foto, solo algunos meses, luego de ello no tuvieron más hijos mis abuelos. En la foto de abajo se ausenta mi tío Ricardo.

Then she started her grandmotherhood, by the oldest, my uncle Edgar, he was the first one to make her grandmother, of my cousin Jesus Luis, who is currently 50 years old. This may indicate the generational gap since I am the penultimate to be exact, I am 28, the last one is turning 20, the last one my grandmother only knew as a baby, and sadly he hardly has any memories of her.

Luego inicio su época de abuela, el mayor, mi tío Edgar, fue el primero en hacerla abuela, de mi primo Jesús Luis, quien actualmente tiene 50 años de edad, lo cual puede indicar la brecha generacional ya que yo soy el penúltimo para ser exacto, yo tengo 28, el ultimo va cumpliendo 18, al último mi abuela solo le conoció de bebe y tristemente casi no guarda recuerdos de ella.

My grandmother became very attached to me and my siblings, we were the last in line, the youngest of the youngest, to meke it worse and make us more spoiled, I was born months after my grandfather's death, that's why I have no memory of him.

Mi abuela se apegó muchísimo a mí y a mis hermanos, fuimos los últimos en la línea, los menores de la menor, para completar y hacernos más malcriados, yo nací tres meses después del fallecimiento de mi abuelo, por eso no guardo ningún recuerdo sobre el.

My grandfather upon his passing had predicted that I would be male, ironically, he was right, and I was given his name in his honor, however, there is not a day that goes by that I don't remember my grandmother and where I don't miss her, she was my first pillar as far as life is concerned, in more ways than one.

Mi abuelo al fallecer había predicho que sería varón, irónicamente, tenia razón y me dieron su nombre en su honor, sin embargo no hay día en el que no recuerde a mi abuela y en el que no la extrañe, fue mi primer pilar en cuanto a la vida, en más de un sentido.

She taught me to love my partner, to forgive and give affection to children. To learn and understand others and especially the children but still be firm about nurturing and of course when you reach a certain age and become a grandparent, to enjoy the children immensely.

Me enseñó a amar a mi pareja, a perdonar y darle cariño a los hijos. A entender y comprender a los demás y especialmente a los hijos pero sin dejar de ser firme en cuanto a la crianza y claro que cuando uno llega a cierta edad y se convierte en abuelo, a disfrutar muchísimo de los hijos.

Being only about two months and a couple of weeks away from becoming a parent. I have at various times examined my childhood memories, and in them, my grandmother shines with surprising light, always full of life, always attentive and loving, correct and very determined in life.

Estando a tan solo unos dos meses y un par de semanas de convertirme en padre, he examinado en variadas ocasiones mis recuerdos de infancia y en ellos mi abuela brilla con sorprendente fulgor, siempre llena de vida, siempre atenta y cariñosa, correcta y muy determinada en la vida.

This is my last photo with her, shortly after that celebration (Two graduations, my brother from college, and me from high school), my grandmother was fading from reality and entered senility. In a couple of months she passed away sleeping peacefully surrounded by her loved ones.

Esta es mi última foto con ella, poco después de esa celebración (Dos graduaciones, mi hermano de la universidad y yo de la escuela secundaria), mi abuela se fue desligando de la realidad y entro en la senilidad, en un par de meses falleció durmiendo en paz rodeada de sus seres amados.

I hope you liked the story of my grandmother and the life she led, she was a happy woman, strong and full of life, she always had intelligent answers to every problem, I learned a lot about her life and I hope you did too.

Espero les haya gustado la historia de mi abuela y la vida que llevo, fue una mujer feliz, fuerte y llena de vida, siempre tuvo respuestas inteligentes a todo problema, aprendí mucho sobre la vida de ella y espero ustedes también.

Nice story of your grandmother and grandparents! Interesting that as second cousins they fell in love. I don’t know anyone who has that as part of their story! Unfortunate that they had some children die, that’s never something someone wants! Thankfully there were 5 strong ones and you and many other grandchildren.

Congrats on being a parent soon! It’s a wonderful journey. Has lots of challenges but it’s totally worth it. Hope you have a wonderful healthy baby!

I guess the disease of hearth might be related to their similarities on a genetic level, it might have being other external factors, we will never know, many others, according to my math we are about 23, mom had 3, my uncle edgar had 9 "That we are aware of" my uncle Jesus had 8 with several womans along his life, Ricardo had 3.

I really hope that as well, may God listend to both of our hopes :D

No second cousin hook-ups Eh? What about footsies with Aunt Jody?

Distant cousin Jody, not Aunt Jody and it might be sort of okay.....

If you hook up with a second cousing, prepare to see some of your children die, out of malformations :S

¡Qué buenas remembranzas! Me parece extraordinario que hayas disfrutado a tu abuela de esa forma que es la mejor forma de conocer nuestras raíces... ¡Los abuelos nos cuentan la historia viva! Gracias por compartir esas vivencias que, puedo notar, son muy significativas para ti. Excelente!!

<3 Un abrazo <3

Beautiful story of a beautiful woman. Good luck with the upcoming baby for you and your entrance to fatherhood

She was a really beautiful woman, i miss her every day, i wonder what would her reaction would be to the image of my daughter on my arms <3

I know what you are saying - My mother died when she was 64 and I was pregnant with my second son and my daughter came 3 years later. I wish she had been around for them. She was an amazing grandmother to my oldest son.
You never stop missing loved ones. How proud she would have been to see the daughter in your arms

That's a wonderful post there. You sure had a great loving bond with your grandmother. I was very close to mine too. She passed away this February and there hasn't been a day I didn't miss her.
Beautifully put-together post. Cheers!

I think of her every day, I sure miss her a lot, thanks for passing by <3

How wonderful that you have such good memories of your Grandmother. That bond will be with you forever. With her as a role model, I am sure you will be a good father.

I sure hope to be one, im going to do my very best to become one :)
