My grandmother was one of the most powerful women I have ever had. She is one of the wisest, and someone who fell and rose again without giving up. This was his way of being until death. I remember how even my mom and dad worked, but she never stopped sewing on her machines, those machines that were her passion, her life's work, with this she could buy the watch so important to her, not for value, but for that is, it was the only thing he could rescue from a great storm that snatched his parents and siblings, remaining alone. I remember that she showed me that clock and told me that I would give it to my mother, so that we remember that life is not easy and that if she falls she will rise again. She told me that there were days left to go to heaven, that I would not see her again, but that I did not cry, that this is life, that someday people have to leave and that we who are left must take care of the world and be better, that every time I see that clock or something like that, that I don't cry, that she will be resting from the fight that is life, from the fight that caused her illness, she had cancer. Many things I did not understand because I was 5 years old, almost 6, I had weeks before my birthday. The next day I didn't see her in her room, reading or making clothes for my younger brother, because my mother was pregnant. I realized that the time had come; Be strong and fight every day to be a better person. So every time I see that clock, I remember that "things are not easy, never, we just have to fight, and if we fall again."
