MY GRANDMOTHER, MY REFERENCE PERSON

 

My grandmother, my reference person. (by P.N.)

What could be more wonderful than having a reference person in your life?

My grandmother was born in 1944, she got married and had three sons and three daughters.  As she lived under laws of Francisco Franco, her behaviour in all aspects of her life has been very influenced by the closed mentality of dictatorship. She always says to me that creating a family was all that her relatives expected from her. Despite of that fact, she always imagines how different her life would have been if she had lived her youth nowadays: she could have had an independent life, have worn clothes she liked, have travelled to many places and have said what she thought without fear of reprisals; in short, she would like to be the only owner of her own life. She admires the role of women in the world today and she learns and opens her mind each day. Nevertheless, she´s very grateful for having had love and health throughout her whole life and she feels happy to see us grow up as healthy, strong and good people. She's the most comprehensive, empathetic, close and friendly person I know.  

In conclusion, I adore my grandmother, it is said that all depends on perspective: the glasses with which we see reality and she has several spare glasses in order to put herself in each other's shoes and help them. She’s a wonderful woman.
