Hi, so, I know I probably don't even need to make a whole author's note about this, but it really does upset me and I do feel like I need to apologize because I think you guys are amazing and deserve it.
So, I have gotten a few comments on Abuelo, and how it reminds a lot of people of their family members that have passed away, and for that, I deeply apologize for making anyone relive those memories or digging up past trauma. I wanted a wholesome, loving grandfather, and that is how his character is supposed to come across. I don't think anyone thinks of the CHARACTER negatively, but still. I apologize for causing anyone that displeasure, and I just wanted to let anyone know who has been affected by it that you are loved in my small community. You are special, and you matter a lot. All your comments and words, mean everything to me, and I just wanna make sure everyone is okay and have a good time with my stories. Without all of you, this book would've been nothing. And I know it's just a Wattpad story, but I do have a special connection with it. This was one of the things that were kinda putting me off from writing, and I thought it was best if I addressed it so I could continue with a peaceful mindset. I love you all, thank you for reading.

Edit: It has also come to my attention that I am making people cry, and for that, I am also very sorry. I know it isn't that deep, but I tend to overthink and I feel really, really bad for making so many people upset for how I've been writing Abuela. Now I will say, I genuinely DO think that that's how she would react to someone in her family being in a same-sex relationship. Before her scene with Mirabel, she was very controlling, very high maintenance, very manipulative, and persistent about growing the family. So with that, I incorporated that into how I chose to write her. I didn't want to use any slurs, obviously, I left those out. I think I got too into character with her. I know how many Encanto fanfictions have Abuela portrayed as homophobic, and I apologize for contributing to that cliché, let alone making people physically frustrated over it. So, again, I'm sorry.
