Writer Statement

I wrote this story after the death of my dear güeli (grandmother). Everything that happened during her funeral and how I realized and never asked her what were her childhood dreams. I loved her so deeply, and yet, only when she was gone, I realized how little I knew about her.
My mom is a spectacular daughter, but during the ceremony she didn't shed a tear. I couldn't help her to stand her pain. We both lived it in a very lonely way, the only difference, it was that I still had a mother to keep me company.
From there, I thought I owned them some sort of tribute, and here it is.
