The first picture of this post was taken in the year 1936 in Mar del Plata, Argentina. My grandmother is the woman wearing the black hat. Two years later, in this same city, the poet Alfonsina Storni committed suicide by throwing herself into the ocean.( She had an incurable cancer and the pain had become unbearable).
The second picture of this post shows my grandmother taking care of me when I was little. I am the girl riding the tricycle.
Unfortunately, my maternal grandfather died before I was born, so I never met him in person.
Thank you, Denise Powell, for accepting this meaningful poem...
