Mi Abuela

One of the only people who never gave up on me even when I felt as if I was a complete failure

My grandma

Always let me know how much she loved me

Never said that I can not because she knew I can

Makes the best food in the entire world

Always brought me to tears when teaching me about life lessons

Never judged, just encouraged

Made me have the best sweet 16 ever!!

My grandma

Sacrificed having relationships with men for the protection of her kids

Got tattoos and regrets them

My grandma

Rocks her natural hair and does not care

Born to an Irish mother and Jamaican father

My grandma

Taught me that there was more to life than piercings, tattoos and boys

Taught me that God will always be there for me even when family is not

My grandma

I could tell my biggest secrets to and she would give me constructive criticism 

But at the day I will understand that it was all out of love

My grandma

The only one that I could actually express all my emotions to 

My first love

My biggest supporter

My heart

My bestfriend

MY GRANDMA
