In loving memory of Graciela, my grandmother

Graciela was many things: a fighter, a survivor, an incredibly strong woman. But she met my grandfather, a man who would take her away, virtually kidnapping her, then forcing her to marry him and bear his children. Violent as he was, a murderer in the State's payroll, his death was a tragedy, because he left behind a void of poverty and misery my grandmother was forced to overcome on her own, with five children in tow. This piece is meant to voice her suffering, a condemnation for my grandfather and his memory.

You know, I've been compared to my grandpa before by my family; the Pinochetista grandpa, anyhow, and I never stopped to think about it, despite having written and thought about him enough these past few days. It's rare that a story gives me something to consider, and this one really did.

Past my own ramblings, this piece is really well made, tragic and well composed; it really transmits this seething, melancholic tone that I can't quite put into words. Quite powerful and well put. +1
