A photograph I like

I love pictures! You can capture so many special moments. It's like you can somehow go back to the places you once belonged, or maybe it's just me getting nostalgic.  I'm not sure if I would be able to pic just 1 picture as my favorite, but I think these pictures are for sure the ones that  bring me more peace.

When I was a kid, I was raised by my grandma and my mother in Colina (Santiago). Yayita was a pretty old lady with blue eyes and a big smile across her face full of wrinkles. She was very funny and she loved to cook, to weave and to look after her plants and trees.  I had to walk everyday about 40 minutes from school  to home so I could check her and to have some tea.

When I was in my last year of school,  we didn't have to stay after lunch so we could leave by 1.00 p.m., so one day (September, 2018) I was just getting to my house gate when I saw her sitting in a bank in the porch looking to the garden. I went to give her a hug and a kiss, and then I noticed that just in front of the bank there was an old drying rack with some cloths on it, and I tried to adjust my phone over the rack and set the timer.

I sat in the bank and called Jacinto (dog), Bubulina (cat) was already sat in the bank before i got home and repeated the process  maybe 3 times so I could get at least one picture because Jacinto didn't stay still.

They were all I had in those years. Bubulina passed away in march of 2020 and my grandma passed away too, two months later. I really mis her presence, her hugs and her smell, and these pictures vanish that sadness sometimes.
