what a summer...
an hour ago i sat next to my grandma. with one arm around her i helped her pick the dress that she´s going to wear after she dies.
this woman has done more for me than words can express. when im with her im at ease. im calm. im content.
this has been a difficult summer. there´ve been so many changes and i´ve had trouble keeping up. my abuelita helped me catch up. when she said her goodbye to me she placed me in a peaceful state. she asked me to take care of my parents and of my brother. she asked me to be strong. and she told me to be happy. this summer ive questioned my priorities and my strength. but after talking to her, after spending time with her and the rest of my family, my priorities and my strength are no longer wavering.
ive grown leaps and bounds. earlier this year the thought of being an adult and having adult responsibilities scared the hell out of me. but this summer has made me realize that im strong enough to be an adult- im strong enough to be there for my family and friends and mostly for myself.
i dont know where life is going to take me but i feel prepared for whatever is coming my way. after being with my family, i am grounded. my priorities are clear. im losing the egotism that comes with being an adolescent. im well prepared.
my grandma is giving me her strength. i know that even after she passes away, her presence will forever be with me. she is an amazing woman who endured so much throughout her life time. and with her strength im prepared for anything and everything.
