Women are the essence of life, we all come from a woman. This story specifically has to do with one of them. A tireless and hardworking woman, who since she was a girl had to get ahead on her own, and despite going through hard times, she fell but immediately got up, this is a woman who almost never came to smile .
Their first love affair gave birth to three children, a girl and two boys. He always likes agriculture, working the land; but his greatest satisfaction in his life was to make snacks, also known as sweets. This woman was abandoned by the father of these first 3 children. However, the heart recovered quickly and became excited again. Life repaired another love, which gave fruit to 5 more children.
Everything seemed like honey and roses until all this story vanished overnight, the father of his next 5 children changed completely and his life became a calvary, from misery to abuse; but in spite of so much disappointment and suffering he always had the strength to get up and put his face up and move on.

Undoubtedly, she was a great fighter who spent a whole day since she got up at very early hours (4:00 am to 5:00 am) to begin the task of scratching 15 to 20 coconuts until she was able to strain 100 mangoes and knead more than ten flours. It was done at 12am and until one in the morning with all these trades that were almost every day of the week, because all these sweets were sold off.
Apart from that he had his place in the market of Carupano, a city located in Sucre State, one of the fishing states of Venezuela. She was also very requested in her home and to specific sweets by order; their sweets so unique that they were, that until many bakeries and sweet shops were going to buy them and then resell them in these sweets. When the months of Carnival and Easter arrived, it was a magnificent season for her, since in those days she sold all her sweets in bulk, without a doubt that she was a woman who did not waste any day of the year. She had more than 50 years of experience in this work to help her and her children get ahead, leaving behind all the bitterness and misery that came to her in the early years of her life.
Thanks to this work he was able to get his children ahead, being always a humble, honest person with a friendly and human personality. With a unique charisma, he loved composing poetry and bonuses; in Christmas seasons he liked to go out and take a walk to many other homes that received him, a person who did not like to be at any time without doing anything, very active, very determined.
At some point in his life he came to ask God not to give him the happiness of having to bother his children, of falling into bed because of illness or old age, that if he had to leave early it did not matter, but that I made her go through having to suffer in a bed using diapers and those things.
Today she is 90 years old and is bedridden, lost in another world, acting in a way that she would never have wanted. He has practically lost his knowledge, because sometimes he does not recognize his children and grandchildren. She does not get up on her own anymore, she eats almost nothing, they have to put on diapers and more is the time that is asleep that wakes up. This situation began years after diagnosing cancer in the large intestine.
She lived with her discomforts, she took her medication instead, but it took a while to stop taking it because of the untenable situation that is being lived here in Venezuela. In spite of this illness, she was a normal person, who suffered more because she felt lonely, since her children practically did not give her the attention she was screaming for, she fell ill with sadness, rather than because of her illness and the poor diet that I was wearing Her body had been able to withstand all those discomforts, but her heart and her mind could not take so much distance and inattention that she was given by the people for whom she gave everything, her children.
The one who writes all this story is one of his grandchildren, that despite some very small indifferences the truth, it breaks my heart to see her in that state. It hurts me so much to see how a person so happy, so alert, so social and kind, from one day to the next his health has changed radically. A few days ago despite her age, the one who saw her never thought that she was 90 years old, because of how physically and mentally she was. It was something from yesterday to today. It takes about a month in that state and every day that passes it looks much worse. That is why today I ask all those who believe in God to give a supplication for her. Because the truth for how it is seen I am sure that she would prefer a thousand times to be next to God and not in these circumstances.
I love you a grandmother world, it would hurt a lot if you left for heaven, but I'm sure it hurts a lot to see you that way, that's why today I ask God to finish receiving you. That from here I will always remember you with a lot of love and respect, and I also know that one day we will see each other again. There is my favorite grandmother that different things will be without your presence, you do not know how much sadness I feel inside. I know that if you finish saying goodbye, you will not be happy, and that's what hurts me the most, you know I'm not the one to tell you this, but life is that unfair and the one with the last word is the one above it, God!!
