I spoke to Amadita today.. That doesn't happen much. The relationship has evoloved since the passing of her husband. Funny how different everyone you raised is and at the same time the same. She spoke to me about painting and how Amado always encouraged this long lost release. She say's she can't find the time. Ain't that the common excuse. I wonder if she knows what quiet the artist my mother her sister has become. If she ever made it to my house I could show her my walls dressed in her work. It seems odd and all together natural how essential it is to remember are ancestry. She also shared with me an amazing story of her grand-mother, your mother. I wish I would of been able ask you more question about her life. It seems to me, I draw a lot from her strength, the manner in which she was tough, respected and ahead of her time. Te estrano Abuelita!!!
