Post 5:

I could have chosen any of the other photos I have of my grandmother, as I have so many. Maybe I chose this one because in this one she is with his favorite dog (because she has many dogs and loves them very much). But mainly I have chosen a photograph of my grandmother because she is currently going through a very complicated health situation. She has not been infected with COVID-19, but it is clear that she is probably living her last months of life due to other health conditions that she had prior to the pandemic (and that I will not detail because it is not appropriate to do in this context). At this time, as a family, we have a very difficult time, and especially my grandmother, who has cared for and loved us all, and is now suffering. She is the most courageous person I have ever known, and it pains us that things turn out to be so bad for someone who has done so much good. But this has left me a valuable lesson for me in particular: that we must take advantage of every moment we have with the people we love, because at any moment life can turn into torture. Our life (what we love, what sustains us, what shelters us) can be unexpectedly destroyed and beaten. Nothing that we have is really special to be exempt from that vital course of degradation. I do not say this to despair, on the contrary, this makes every moment more valuable, within its fragility. You have to fight to always be there, treat people well, and especially your family, and fight for the well-being of your loved ones, because your comforting context will not be eternal, to have the peace you long for you have to fight for work , for helping, for loving, in order to maintain as much as possible what you value, so as not to regret in the future saying "if I had done something, things would not have been like that."
