Remembering Grandma

April 12th will mark my grandmother's 2nd anniversary of her death. These past few days have been very emotional for me and I'm sure for many in my family.

My grandmother, Eduviges or as I would call her, "Abuelita Viky" was an exemplary woman. She was a woman of sacrifice, passion and love.  She was definitely a Proverbs 31 woman! 

Proverbs 31:31 

Acclaim her for the work of her hands,

and let her deeds praise her at the city gates.

I remember the times we spent together when she would take care of me and my brothers when my parents went to work. I can't remember of any moment as a child when I didn't want to go to grandma's house.  As a little girl, I loved spending time with her. As soon as I would get to grandma's, I would run to see if I could help prepare the food to feed the birds that were by the windows of the 2nd floor. She taught me how to sew. She would make the best tortillas. It was always entertaining watching her scold my uncles and aunts that were still home. She taught me many life lessons that have saved me from many heart aches.

Abuelita Viky died April 12, 2010 of pneumonia. It was a Monday after the Sunday of Divine Mercy and she went to heaven during the Hour of Mercy. It was a graceful day, where the whole family was on their knees pleading to the Lord. I saw very clearly in my prayers  Our Lady coming to pick her up.

In these next few days I'll definitely be asking my grandmother to pray for me. My abuelita along with all the things she taught me will live in my heart until I see her again. 

Te amo abuelita!
