Maria Lendo

Celine Dion: Ave Maria

Abuelita lived a beautiful life. One of struggle and perseverance. She helped to raise me and I'm grateful for that experience of living with grandma for so many years. She was always loving and wanted the best for all of us. Over time she matured in ways that I hope to do as well; to be patient, kind, generous, and loving in all situations, even to strangers. My favorite memories of Abuelita are the times where she let me help her and spend time with her in the kitchen cooking/taste testing, in the garden planting/pruning, or wherever learning to sew. Maybe no one will make flour tortillas as well, or keep plants living as long, but I remember the love and patience she showed me little things that would make me a more humble and independent person. Love, Breana
