begins to travel what is left of road. To go the one where the excitement gives way to time experienced. Which do not count the days but for its sunsets. Where there is always a space to talk with shadows, with the past. It is there in some corner of the reason, as traveling without fear. Where it does not matter the heat or cold ... it hurts so much ... no longer alone, which can bear. Has begun to strip paint anger, resentment, anguish before he drowned in the place where he now lives a quiet understanding. Today, even the fear has unlimited features generous tolerance. Uninhabited for years that hope which does not float in the warmth of anyone who does not dream fantasies, that does not suck more than it has been, looking for a site where you can leave without noise. He knows that he takes less to live. He had no time, nor left to flourish their lilies. Love touched in one direction, from it to others. Without reciprocity. No correlation. No double-track to fill the place of affection. Think there is not much more to see. The shadow of his crop grown, but never caught as I wished, full of pride. Although it does not feel own, knows that is the product of his sleeplessness. From his sleepless nights. In its continued renunciation. She bears witness to its truth. She calms your lacerations. She soothes her silences. Allows you to ignore their fears, their tears ... that injury leading self-esteem and feelings will go with her because he could never overcome. What yesterday was a dream for the future, today is galling this ... and soon forgettable past. Directed towards the final peace of the wind, and the walking is not brash, there are only peaceful lakes chagrin damping memories. It has no trouble to show, or achievements that shine. Only a tattoo of a solitude and contempt defining corners. So even if your child does not feel it, but her daughter values \u200b\u200b... not justify their way, their presence, even concealed unfair that tear hurricanes, storms, storms do not make it harder for transit. Each day was a new injury of life, a prelude to the fall, a filament undue ride amid a drizzle that never stopped and that always made him suffer in silence. Although moderated the distress, shock, feeling as old furniture, learned to live alone their failures. Calm offenses. A scream just for the pillow. To trust in the four walls of his room, and understand that today his many years in his life ... and there was no dawn. So I visit. So he tells me. Because according to her to die in peace ... just needs to have the experience.
- is a beautiful old lady. Full of wisdom, but also sadness. A family friend, asked me to visit her at home. I'm surprised its lucidity. I quoted this spot interviews with surprising fidelity. This is learning to talk to her, but life-unjustly denied him all the happiness you deserve.
- What good has come Degree. I really wanted to see, because I know a lot through television and newspaper. I am your oldest fan. No hair me their stories. I read your column and while I enjoy politics, I still quietly. There I experience other and learn.

- imagine, my Lady, to be a beautiful story
- Everything, as in pharmacy, son. Although there is a penalty that took in, I want to tell to see if the drain before the present I was bald, because I have many aches and I feel that me going around and around
- You say ...
- You I can tutear? ... Look I can be your grandmother!
- Grandma Sure, whatever ... I say
- I married very young. With an official-looking mail. When the e-mail was and it was very important to work on it. We had one son, Carlitos, who became the center of our lives. While serving three years, my husband fell in love with a telegraph. One day I complained, and never returned. We spent the cudgel play work my son and me. I washed and ironed for the street. But it was not enough and had to give the cottage we had rented. I went to my sister and together we share sorrows and disappointments. Thus, washing, ironing, cooking for the neighborhood was brought up to my boy. Dad was and mother, like many Venezuelan women. Bach did, and when he had to go to study in Caracas, I talked to a relative change and become his cook, housekeeper, cleaner, cachifa ... gave us the utility room of his apartment for us to live. He began working at the racetrack. At that time students are helped by the ballots Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, or assisting in the then called "sealed" it reported an amount sufficient to maintain their studies and also allowed him time to meet them. In college he met a sister and then learned of his father, who by then was a wealthy businessman in Valencia. The sister put them in touch and began a relationship that eventually was narrowed. While I was with family chores to counterbalance the roof gave us. Never go out, because when it came to leaving was I who had to guard the house. I think we get used to it ... and eventually I became, for him, too, that domestic assistant is provided as useful as a mom. Studying, fell in love with a girl from the "rank" of Caracas. With family coming down but these are more pretentious than the real truth! The day that I knew was I was in my room behind the kitchen ... the fourth service. He tried to hide it, I did "for". A cold greeting, a kiss with disgust and almost five minutes to visit there made me realize I had no life.
- Are you married?
- Yes, while studying. Within months she became pregnant, I was called to "help them." That day she was very kind to me, but again gave me room service because of the two who were unemployed "was a baby, and the other was for guests." I accepted it ... total, I ended up believing that was my place. In the days of changed their minds, Louise came to me and said, old tonight, please stay in your room because we have seen and you know, people are very delicate, very thin ... so do not feel bad neither you nor them. I brought some things for the appetizers ... I do not worry about the dishes, you can wash the morning when you rise. That night I realized that not only would be the cachifa at my son, if my daughter was going to make me notice whenever there was opportunity.
- What was the attitude of your child?
- I talked to him. I said, Charles did not want me to put on your stuff but this is going to tell you that made me feel very bad. I said ... those are your own mother pods. Luisa is that you do not like. Do not be complex. She is a simple woman, spoiled, pampered, yet simple ... if you put in your part is going to take very well. It is also pregnant ... understand it. I thought, but I just did my son the next day approached me and told me ... look old storyteller, you're in this house as the mother of my husband, but do not overdo it because I dump. Let's put him stories about me. You do not think I'll sit at the table with my friends do not even know how to use silverware. You eat using only the spoon. But also can not cook, serve and sit at the table at once. What if we need anything? Who's going to happen to us? Addition those dresses yours must have a thousand washes. As we pay someone to help us, the better you go to your house .... Please stop ashamed!
- What say?
- Nothing son. I began to mourn. I had suffered many humiliations. Many slights. The poor always suffer, especially when we are "leaning against" with family. Do not know why some relatives favors charge us more strongly than friends. . I never thought that my son's house, where I knew it would not be the queen ... but at least it, dear grandmother, I would be reproached in the face of my poverty. I cried and I thought that it was my destiny. Charles was away from me because of it. One day I said, it was best that I return with my sister, he had formed his family and needed solitude and independence. He told me not to leave him. I was his old sweetheart. Would talk to his wife ... and cried with me remembering all the penalties we had gone to study and graduated. I got it, I decided to be even more tolerant, and ignore any "peak" of the girl. She stopped talking. Only it did when my son was present. Any excuse not eat if I sat at the table. I purposely dirtied the floor and even a dog "pisser" brought to the apartment.
- would be intolerable to live well ...
- Imagine son, but it got worse after she gave birth. I gave the boy for her to leave. I happy to care for and pamper my grandson. She thought I was wrong, what could make me very happy era. So it was, my son set up his own business successfully and then came the golf, travel, friends, parties, each on his side until he fell out ...
- They ran love?
- Yes Both were mounted piece. Definitely, life is a handkerchief. She told him that went with some friends of volunteering to Margarita to a charity tour, and he said it would take to go to Valencia in a golf tournament. Turns out he went to Tucacas with a friend and when I was in the restaurant, saw a couple kissing frantically ... surprise, it was Luisa with a friend. There were said everything put together a tremendous scandal. I, ignorant of what happened when she came to the apartment and insulted me, I knew what was happening, and I thought so!. I said, is that always the mountain goat ... strip had to be the son of a mop to be as it is ... how I got married with that thing !!!... I'm out of here forever ... I took the child and went on crying. At the time I called Carlos and asked if I had come, I told him, I asked what happened and told me ... and I expected there. He came, he told me his story and told me she pests. We were left alone as a year. Sometimes she came and brought his grandson. I never went until one day he called me from the room. He greeted me with kindness too ... he said he wanted to talk to me, I apologized and assured me he was sorry, and I had to help rebuild the family, for the sake of the child, talk with him ... when he asked me blessing.
- What did, Grandma?
- I talked to him ... but he was very hurt in his honor, his manhood. I welcomed the apology, but that was it. She continued to visit. I take things. I left the grandson. I got to the movies once. I took home from his mother, and for the first time I talked with his family in his living room. I was accustomed to forgive and give, I could not forget what my son and I passed through divorce and abandonment of it was my husband. I do not want that for my grandson. Not what I lived for it, though it would have been good to me. I think any woman deserves to go through the humiliation I went through, only by working to educate a child properly. So I set out together ... and I did!. We met again this time as a family. The first months I was a spoiled. They hired a woman to help me and they took me out, I took into account, were outstanding to me. But after she felt he had sent the girl safe and slowly began to return to what she considered my position cachifa. This time, I do not know that "magic" gave my son, who returned it half stupid. She has abused me, and he said that I was pussy ... I assumed things that I was stuck between his eyebrows, also wrongly, that Louise was bad. They understand that for some children who We all serve him as a maternal duty. That when children get married, is this family that way, your first family. That first wife and then mother. That make life happy for mothers is the duty without compensation, but for wives is a condition that must match on pain of losing. That love of meat things are forgiven, not forgiven the mother's love. That the harder you try ... more than a skirt can be many sleepless nights. That after years pass, only run when you lose or when they are about to do so. They then complain, you do not time spent. Unjust temper tantrums that made you go. Of affection denied you ... when it's too late to make amends. So I wanted to talk to you ... maybe my story is not moving, but I assure you it is more common than you think. For this child, if you can, the public. More than a lesson, as a tribute to those mothers who have been around, but never recognize us, because our children have always thought ... that was our duty.
I say goodbye to her. Spread that tenderness that emanates. That wisdom exhilarating. That experience taught. Achievement float in its warmth, nestled in the warmth that I can not explain how anyone could be neglected. In the midst of such vivid color, she has learned to wait in peace what others have been hell, subtracting one day for each trauma. So is able to draw in the shadows. To rain in the desert. Of love in the middle of the plot. To see clearly amid the glare. To live serene in the midst of his imprisonment, when he discovered the lie of freedom. It is full time mom. Dad supplemental title. Grandma every time I leave. It has a lesson you want to share, at some point in life, we must leave behind the most turbulent of winter!
