My grandmother Maria is my special someone.... today I would like to talk about her... She was a great person with all her grandchildren's. My family and I visited her on sundays and we spent together all day preparing food and talking.

She was a dedicated person with her family and took care of her 13 children's while my grandfather worked out of town

Unfortunatelly she passed away on 2008 when I was twelve years old so this moment was very difficult for me.

I would have liked to be older and more conscient to know more about her, her childhood and her life story.

I'm sure she is always with me :)

I would like to talk about my GrandMother.

When I was child she wasn't my favority person, but Know I admire her too much.

Her father (my Great-Father) fought in the Mexican Revolution alongside Emiliano Zapata, so she lived the consequences of the post-war period.

My GrandMother, taught me to love your own land, defend the weakest, take care of the family, be honest and loyal all time.

Unfortunatelly we don't have picture of her.

He´s my dad, for me the best person in my life. Since I was a child, I remember him singing at parties, at home and when I woke up in the morning, he had a wonderful voice.

When he was young, he was hired along with this Trio Lucero in a very famous restaurant of that time.

My dad sang for me unitl the end of his life and his voice is in my heart.

She is my grandma Lupita who was the strongest woman that I´ve ever known...

She was mother of 12 children that raised alone, so she taught us that everything is possible if you work hard for all that you want. She always said family is the most important thing we have.

Thanks to her, I love spending time with my family,singing, drinking coffee and playing card games, because she taught me how to play them since I was 6 years old.

She has great sense of humor and she loved mariachi music that she enjoyed singing until her 93 years, in each party. This picture is special for me because it was the last party that we sang together and we spend wonderful time.

My brother, best friend and playmate, I miss him a lot.

He passed away when he was 33 years old. He taught me not to give up, and fight for my dreams, I miss to sing and dance with him, I'm sure that he is in a better place.

When he died a dreamed with him, I dreamed that he came for me and I hid of him, I think it was the way he said goodbye, he'll stay always in my heart, my mind and my prayers.

My grand father is my special someone. is funny because when l was a kid when I used to see him I thought that he was so serious and grumpy becouse all the time he was in his office. As I grew older I realized that it was interesting to talk with him, he loved to write, the poetry and the politic.

He used to read and write, all the time he was writing poems for his grandchildren, about life and he used to tell me that I was his bright star.

Unfortunately he pass away five years ago and I missed him so much, he was a great person and he always will be in my heart.

My king is my dear daddy. His name is Francisco Avendano and he is the most amazing person in my life.

Today is 76 years old and since my 7 years old he taugh me played basketball, because he loved play it, and every single Sundays my mother, my sisters to I went to his games.

I remember when was "The three wise menday", always brought me a basketball ball and I was very happy.

Actually my dad is my cheer in my games, he heals my injures and he tells me to stop playing until my knees allow me to.

On the other hand, he is my heroe, because he taugh me to be an independent woman, worker, have dignity, fight for my dreams until, they come true, not let myself be humiliated and defend my position.

He inherited me most valuable thing that characterizes me:

Religion, my favorite sport, family love, humility and values.

The last words defined my essence, that characterizes me.

Finally he is my support in all that I do.

I love him!

My sister Mabel is my special someone. She is my older sister and since I can remember she has always taken care of me and motivates me to be a better person.

Mabel has a big heart, she is always willing to help and together we have spent incredible moments, both good and bad, and I know that whenever we need each other we are for each other.

She always drives me to lose my fears and if with someone I feel safe is with her, an example of it is that I do not swim and with her I can enter the sea, rivers and even do scooba, holding her hand and feel safe, because I know that taking her hand nothing will happen to me.

We really enjoy traveling and doing it with her is a great adventure.

I love you little sister!

My grandma named Mamá Teresa is my special someone! She is 93 years old, and I still learn from her because she so strong and independent, she is really happy despite all situations that she lived, each day she wakes up at 06:00 am and starts her day attending her chickens, her house seems like a farm.

She is so special to me and me for her, she is proud of me about everything that I do, she is really amazed about I can drive, travel and knew new places and people, she would have liked to have a car. She never thought that a women can take a car and be free to travel around the work.

She always cheers me to make a different things, to explore the world and the life.

I really love when I go to visit her because she makes me my favorite dish and gift me candies, we really love the sweet things.

My grandmother Socorro is my special person because she was like my second mother. I really miss her every day, but I remember her when I'm with my family and we talk about her sense of humor and the way she cares about us.

She passed away 3 years ago. She was always an independent and hard-working person and I learned that from her.

If I could talk to her one more time I would ask her for all her kitchen recipes and give her a big hug.
