If there is one thing I can say my grandmother gave me, it was love and wisdom. Every time I visited Texas, I made it a point to see her. I once asked her for a Bible, and she not only gave me a few pamphlets but also her personal Bible, which I still treasure today. The words within have shaped my life in countless ways.
During a time when I felt alone and sorrowful, I turned to these cherished books. They spoke of family and stepfamily, and emphasized that sometimes it falls upon us, the children, to take the first step in changing our lives and the lives of those around us. Inspired by her guidance, I began to reach out to family members I had once felt distant from. Slowly but surely, I grew closer to the family I had longed to connect with.
Her simple gesture, though miles away, profoundly changed my life. She taught me that even when things are not our fault, we can still be the bigger person and positively shape the course of our lives.
Grandma, you will be deeply missed. Rest peacefully, knowing the love and wisdom you shared continue to guide me.

Mi Reyna HERMOSA , mi Viejita Chula 🥰… Madre Mia , ahora ya esta con su AMOR . Usted ya dejó de sufrir . Y por esa rason yo sigo con mi sonrisa. Como le dije “ Agame campo , porque un día voy a llegar con mi yegua 🐴 para seguir cantanole a usted y a Apa “. Que bonito va ser ese rencuentro !! Usted me dijo que pasa lo que pase SIEMPRE ay que sonrier y confiar en Jehova . Asi sera Madre mia , porque un Preciado , NO SE RAJA …” Arre/ YEGUA a cantar se a dicho “ POR UN AMOR “ La Amo , mucho , mucho . Su hija Maria Griselda 💙
Forever missed and loved.
“’Til death do us part” — no truer words of hope and devotion were ever spoken on a wedding day so long ago. Devoted in life, faithful in absence, and now, together forever — just as they promised. Their love was the kind that outlives this world . Our AMA has left us to reunite with the love of her life . May we all be lucky enough to love and be loved as fiercely as AMA and APA loved one another .
