In 1936, a beautiful girl was born. Her name is Alberta [my grandmother]. She was married to Jorge [my grandpa] and has three kids. I’ll tell you why I put “A mother always forgives”, as a title of this blog post. 

[Such a short intro, can’t come up with a better one].

You know that all mothers care for their children. Well, it may not be all the same, but they do care. [I can guarantee you that!]

My grandma’s eldest son which is now 55 years old still depends on her. My uncle doesn’t have any work or business to fulfill his needs and wants. 

My grandma is 83 years old. Each year of her life, she gets to experience the pain of taking care of my uncle. This is absolutely not her responsibility anymore, but his.

We were mad at him for being so lazy and stubborn. My aunt tried to help him, but he just wastes everything. He spends his earnings on liquors and cigarettes. It came to a point that we no longer want him to stay in my grandmother’s house. BUT my grandma let him stay. Even though he is scolding her, cursing and threatened her ALMOST every day, she forgave him. There’s no amount of respect or even a bit of help just by cleaning the house. [SHE STILL FORGAVE HIM]

We’ve tried so many things like offer to sell the house and move with my auntie. Buy my uncle a house, so he’ll stay away to our grandma, BUT…. She declined all of these. 

I don’t know why… I find it really hard to understand. It hurts to see that she’s okay with all of these. Maybe, we are not exerting more effort or maybe, the love of a mother cannot be compared to anything in this world. 

I suddenly realize the love of my mom. Even if we have made mistakes in our lives, my mom always forgives me, though sometimes it takes months before she talked to me again. [second-year high school!!!!]

My grandma saw the pain that my uncle is suffering from. My uncle is experiencing the pains of failure as a father, a husband, and a son. These things brought him all of the negativity and became like that.

My grandmother was the only one who saw these kinds of sufferings that he has and that could be the reason why she always forgives him.

THE LOVE OF A MOTHER TO HER CHILD”
