She was the youngest of four siblings, thin, brunette, with long jet black hair, her eyes were honey colored, she lived on a small ranch, with her mother Melquiades and her aunt Barbarita who was a tall lady, brunette, with very long black hair, with a strong character. when she was 10 years old, her mother became so ill that she reached dementia, her aunt took care of them both. When she was 18 years old, her mother passed away, leaving Emilia in the care of her aunt, who was so strict that she did not allow the young girl to sit in front of her house.
His three brothers, Pedro, Pablo and Daniel, were married, had families and worked in the construction industry. One day a tall, white, stocky man with dark brown curly hair arrived at the construction site asking for a job, his name was Eleazar, he was from a camp near the city called Rio Brito, he was accepted for the job, he was an excellent bricklayer.
On one occasion Emilia's brothers and sisters went to visit their aunt Barbarita, she was already very old, they invited Eleazar. When they arrived at the aunt's house they asked for a blessing as usual, they introduced Eleazar who was their guest, the moment he saw Emilia, he was very attracted to her and even thought of courting her to make her his wife. From that moment on, after leaving work, he went out to visit her, until the time came when he spoke to his aunt, asking permission to marry.
Six weeks later they got married in church, they stayed living in the ranchito with their aunt, as she was sick they had to take care of her. A year later her aunt made a document where she gave the ranchito to Emilia, there they had their four children Enrique, Rosita, Jesús and Martín. Eleazar did not like her to work, he wanted her to take care of her children and Mrs. Barbarita at home, her work was enough to support her family.
One morning Emilia got up very early to prepare breakfast for her husband who was going to work, she was surprised to see that her aunt was still sleeping, when she got to her room, she touched her aunt and realized that she had passed away.
Eleazar worked very hard, turning the ranch into a beautiful home. The children studied at the school, she was in charge of fixing his house and having the food ready for when the children came home from school. While working on the construction Eleazar fainted, they immediately took him to the doctor to give him first aid, when they arrived at the hospital unfortunately there was no time, he had already passed away, the doctor diagnosed his death as a result of a heart attack. His siblings who work with him, went to Emilia's house to tell her the painful news, she sobbed with grief, hugging her four children. She spent very sad days because of the absence of her husband, there was a moment when she realized that she had nothing to feed her children, she took courage and went out to the street to see if she could find a job. She knocked on the door of a house, asked if they needed a person to clean the house, wash and iron the clothes and cook the meals.
From that day on she worked at the home of the Rodriguez family, a married couple with no children, with a very big house, they really needed someone to help them with the household things. At times she had no one to take care of her children, she took them to her work at the Rodriguez's house, they were very obedient to their mother. As time went by, her children grew up, studied and became professionals. Enrique was a Captain in the army, Rosita graduated as a doctor with a specialization in Pediatrics, Jesus graduated as an Architect, Martin was an Agronomist Engineer. They all got married and had their children .
They appreciated the effort their mother made throughout her life, being mother and father at the same time. Every afternoon, after leaving their jobs, they would pick up their children from the different schools to visit their mother. On weekends they would all go for a walk with their families to their mother's house.
