Chapter 4: Unexpected
I have gotten my late grandma's eyes, she loved me a lot; I was raised at her house and we stayed always together. I miss her odour, voice and stories; I actually miss myself with her.

I did not attend school, my sisters did not either, granny Emma Flores was the one who taught me how to read, write and live.
Everything was perfect, until one day, she got severely sick, illness ran in her body, I could not do anything to save her and she died heavily infront of my eyes when I was only ten years old.
The scene of her death were terribly frightening and tragical even though she was a good person, but death is death!
