Mi abuelita Paz
|
The earliest memories I have are those of my grandmother caring for me and always being there for my family. At her 90 years of age, she continues to be the matriarch of our family and the greatest influence in our lives. The family values she has instilled in us are the reason we remain unified despite the different paths life has given us.

One of the countless reasons I love my grandmother is the way she leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. Fortunately, her way of being respectful, attentive, and empathetic has become a part of me. I place extreme value in bringing peace of mind to those I care for, as well as maintaining it in myself. I believe that there is enough uncertainty in the world without me adding to it. For this reason, I find it necessary to be transparent so that people may know the real me and where I stand. Thanks to that form of approaching the world, I have met many amazing people and created long lasting bonds.

There is no way, shape, or form that I could ever repay my grandmother Paz for all that she has done for my family. The best that I can do is to continue to emulate her way of being so that she can always be a part of me. I am thankful for her teachings because they have shown me that the key to happiness lies in being selfless and achieving inner peace. Life seems more purposeful when you can share your happiness with the world. I hope that I may achieve that through these blogs and learn from the experiences of others ✌

I like the repetition in your six-word memoir. It emphasizes that your grandmother (Paz) is everything, but the peace she brings into your life and your family's life is everything. I like the descriptions of your family and how she has shaped so many aspects of your family's life. The pictures help me envision what that looks like. Btw, your dog Oreo is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI think people who grew up knowing their grandparents are very blessed. Both my grandmothers from both side passed away around their 90s and it was marvelous learning from them and hearing their stories. I like how you emphasized how important family is to you. I couldn't agree more. Family will always be your rock in many challenges in life and they will support and guide you through tough time. Thank you for sharing this.
