Renea

3/5/2016

 
“If I could meet anyone, it would be my grandmother. She passed away before I was born, but I’ve heard about her all my life. She was the candy lady in the neighborhood. She grew up in poverty, but people have always told me what a caring, friendly person she was. She was a great cook, and if someone in the community needed a meal, she was there for them. Everyone came to her house for the holidays. Seeing the type of person my mother is, makes me wish I had known the woman who raised her. If I could meet my grandmother now, I would ask ‘Where did you get the strength to keep going and make it through? Where did you get your resilience? Even though you had all these struggles, you were still able to keep a smile on your face. What made you happy?’”
