    I’ve heard it all before from family and friends, “Martha, you should stop eating this or doing that”.

Before getting to the town where my grandma lived my uncle drove through a long road full of dirt and everything I saw was dust filling the air because of the cars in front of us, malnourished dogs all over the street, and cows as if they were pedestrians.

I got down the car and my grandma hugged me and kissed me and said I looked like my dad’s side of the family. She was loving right in that instant without really knowing me, but she was just like every other grandma. She looked and sounded just like my mom, dark skin, light brown hair, slanted eyes, and both their voice was soft. She made me feel comfortable and like at home that I couldn’t be afraid of her.

We got up to the top level and sat down then the boat finally took off. It was really relaxing being up above with the smell of the fresh Florida air and the wind in my hair.
