It's all good
Hey everyone, I'm back ^^
well life has been hectic and sh*t has happened but it seems like the storm has passed.
Our legal problem back home in Mexico got resolved with no complications. This is the time I'm grateful to be from a small town where everyone knows everyone, hence why the authorities laughed at the lady claiming to be my late great grandpas daughter, it just wasn't possible.
Its true her mom and my late great grandpa did live together after my late great grandma passed and they did have a son, unfortunately their son passed away when he was still a toddler, after that they separated and my late great grandpa never remarried again, and it wasn't until a few years later after this lady married someone else and had this daughter claiming to be my great grandpas daughther
it was ridiculous to even think that, and the big question was, "why are you coming forward NOW?, IF you are his daughter, why didn't you go to him when he was alive? Why didn't you visit him When he was ill?, Why didn't you go to his funeral?"
she of course didn't know what to say so that was that,
i felt dumb for crying and making my mother more upset, asking those same questions,
my great grandpa was my everything as a child, with him I had the most amazing childhood ever, with his stories while walking on his land in the mountains, walking along the corn fields, with him and my mothers mom i was happy, i was free as a child, i played with the neighbors, or while taking the goats to feed in the mountains, i had chores i enjoyed doing.
and when my grandma passed, my world crumbled, i felt so alone, but i still had my great grandpa, and then he passed a couple of years later and i didn't know where i was going to go, (this was my 9 year old self, who had parents and 2 younger brothers and both paternal grandparents and paternal great grandparents and a big family on my fathers side, all I knew was that they were both gone), after that i went back to live with my mom and grandparents(my dad was here in LA), and that's when i had to grow up, in that house it was all chores, responsibilities, my paternal grandparents where strict, and I as a woman i had to learn the duties of a wife because in my town most girls tend to marry right after elementary graduations, usually between 12-15 years old. And since i was the granddaughther of "so and so" i couldn't embarrass them in front of my future in-laws so i had to learn
Now that I'm 25 still single, full of dreams, and goals, I laugh when I remember that answer my grandma gave me, when I asked why i needed to learn how to make homemade tortilla and the whole process of boiling the corn, then let it sit over night, then strain it in the morning, and then take it to the "molino" to get grinded until its soft and then take it back home, set up the stove and begin making the tortillas for the day, I didnt get it then, i just went along with it because i didn't want to get in trouble, and wanted to be able to finish fast without getting burnt, it wasn't until i moved here to LA and got older that i realized I was a wife to be in training,
But, back to the main topic, I guess it was the fact that this ambitious lady was using my late great grandpa that got me so upset, how dare she do that to his memory, and all for a piece of land she has no right over, i was so mad i was almost on the verge of leaving and just wanted to go and just yell at her "WHY, Why are you doing this?" i was about to leave but i calmed down the next day and my mom said there was no need to lower ourselves to her level, that it would be over soon, and thankfully its over, and whenever we come across her daughter she lowers her head and walks away.
So even though, My SM TOWN experience dampened by this horrible situation, I had fun and it was an amazing experience, Also I was able to go watch the movie "I AM" it was a nice experience, I went with my cousin, and before the movie we went to have some Korean BBQ and it was Amazing, we grilled some chicken had dumpling soup, and Bibimpab, it was delicious, i loved the kimchee they served and for dessert we had patbingsoo,
So all is good and hopefully I will have more time to come and comment on those amazing stories being posted by my awesome lovely authours
