Un Saludo amigos, espero que se encuentren bien, hoy vengo a participar en la iniciativa "Hablemos de nuestros Abuelos" presentada en la Comunidad Family&Friends conjuntamente con @hivedamor y con el apoyo de @eddiespino, la comunidad de @aliento y @theycallmedan, para ayudar a los abuelitos del Asilo de Ancianos Santo Domingo, me parece un gesto muy noble para apoyar a estos abuelitos que viven allí.
Greetings friends, I hope you are well, today I come to participate in the initiative "Let's talk about our Grandparents" presented in the Family&Friends Community together with @hivedamor and with the support of @eddiespino, the community of @aliento and @theycallmedan, to help the grandparents of the Asilo de Ancianos Santo Domingo, it seems to me a very noble gesture to support these grandparents who live there.
Abuelos para mi es sinónimo de amor, de entrega, de mimar, etc; Yo solo conocí a mis abuelas, no tuve la dicha de tener presentes a mis abuelos, el materno falleció siendo mi madre una niña aún y el paterno no estuvo presente en la vida de mi padre, lo conocí cuando tenía yo, 17 años y después lo vi como en dos ocasiones más; Hoy voy a hablarles de mi abuela materna, mi Doña María García, con quien pase gratos momentos de mi infancia.
Grandparents for me is synonymous with love, dedication, pampering, etc.; I only knew my grandmothers, I did not have the joy of having my grandparents present, my maternal grandfather died when my mother was still a child and my paternal grandfather was not present in my father's life, I met him when I was 17 years old and then I saw him on two more occasions; Today I will talk about my maternal grandmother, my Doña Maria Garcia, with whom I spent pleasant moments of my childhood.
Mi abuela María, no tengo muchas fotografías de ella, pues en ese tiempo no teníamos celulares inteligentes, solo una que otra cámara fotográfica con rollo se veía por allí, en casa no teníamos, de paso mi abuela no se dejaba fotografiar, ella era una señora alta, delgada, con el cabello canoso y largo, su carácter era raro, porque era fuerte, yo diría que algo peleonera, pero a la vez era amorosa y consentidora; Me toco la suerte de vivir al lado de su casa, por lo que mis hermanos y yo, no necesitamos niñera, ella nos cuidaba mientras mi madre trabajaba.
My grandmother Maria, I do not have many pictures of her, because at that time we did not have smart phones, only one or two cameras with a roll of film was seen around, at home we did not have, by the way my grandmother did not allow herself to be photographed, she was a tall lady, thin, with gray and long hair, her character was strange, because she was strong, I would say that she was somewhat quarrelsome, but at the same time she was loving and pampering; I was lucky enough to live next to her house, so my siblings and I did not need a babysitter, she took care of us while my mother worked.
Cuando mi hermano mayor y yo comenzamos la escuela, mi abuela se iba por temporadas a una parcela que tenía en una zona rural de la ciudad, como me hacía falta, pero apenas daban vacaciones, mi madre me llevaba y me dejaba allá con ella, eran unos días maravillosos, sin electricidad, ni agua potable, pero me encantaba estar en ese lugar, puedo decir sin miedo a equivocarme que los mejores momentos de mi infancia los pase allí con mi abuela, cierro los ojos y puedo imaginarla cocinando en la cocina de kerosene, barriendo el patio o cargando el agua para bañarme, había algo que me intrigaba mucho y era, que mi abuela cargaba el tobo lleno de agua en su cabeza, sin sujetarlo con las manos y el agua no se le derramaba.
When my older brother and I started school, my grandmother would go for seasons to a plot of land that she had in a rural area of the city, as I needed it, but as soon as there were vacations, my mother would take me and leave me there with her, they were wonderful days, without electricity or drinking water, but I loved being in that place, I can say without fear of being wrong that the best moments of my childhood were spent there with my grandmother, I close my eyes and I can imagine her cooking on the kerosene stove, sweeping the yard or carrying the water to bathe me, there was something that intrigued me a lot and it was that my grandmother carried the bucket full of water on her head, without holding it with her hands and the water did not spill.
Fue mi abuela quien me enseño a jugar barajas, de ella también aprendí a cocinar y muchas cosas más, aún recuerdo esos cuentos de terror que nos contaba, después tenía que dormir con ella porque el pánico se apoderaba de mí, pero al siguiente día otra vez quería escuchar esos cuentos, son tantos los momentos que quedaron grabados en mi memoria y en mi corazón y allí se quedarán por siempre.
It was my grandmother who taught me to play cards, from her I also learned to cook and many more things, I still remember those horror stories she told us, then I had to sleep with her because panic took over me, but the next day again I wanted to listen to those stories, there are so many moments that were recorded in my memory and in my heart and there they will remain forever.

Mi abuela era una mujer muy enérgica, nunca tenia flojera, era muy servicial, si alguien necesitaba de su ayuda, ella amablemente le tendía la mano, tristemente perdió la vista siendo aún joven, un golpe duro que la deprimio por un tiempo, pero se sobrepuso rápido, usando un bastón se trasladaba por toda la casa y hasta iba a nuestra casa también, lavaba su ropa, fregaba los trastes, no le gustaba estar sin hacer nada, porque estaba acostumbrada a valerse por si misma.
My grandmother was a very energetic woman, she was never lazy, she was very helpful, if someone needed her help, she kindly offered her hand, sadly she lost her sight when she was still young, a hard blow that depressed her for a while, but she got over it quickly, using a cane she moved around the house and even went to our house too, she washed her clothes, did the dishes, she didn't like to be doing nothing, because she was used to fend for herself.
Mi abuela fallecio hace 19 años y casi todos los días hay algo que me hace recordarla, sus refranes se me salen en alguna conversación, y como no, si ella fue una mujer admirable, para mi la mejor abuela del mundo!
My grandmother passed away 19 years ago and almost every day there is something that makes me remember her, her sayings come out in some conversation, and of course, if she was an admirable woman, for me the best grandmother in the world!
