My Grandmother

March 13, 1983: I was reminded that today is another anniversary of my grandmother Ana´s death. She had a hard life, too, but not like my Tia´s. My grandmother was a young woman of 31 when my grandfather died suddenly of a heart attack. She was a single mother with two small girls. Her husband´s well-to-do family turned their back on them and she learned to fend for herself.
