I named my blog in honor of my grandmother, a wonderful women, a inspiration for anyone who has had the luck to be in her life. The name translates to "My grandmother's quilt". O nome do meu blog foi escolhido em honra da minha avo, uma mulher incrivel, uma verdadeira inspiracao para todos aqueles que a conhecem.

To my grandmother
my grandmother just passed away. Her life had become a torture, slowly sipping away, with pain, dependence, difficulty to comunicate as she barely could talk.
Her mind was sharp, she knew there was no hope. Her passing away was probably a blessing for her, all she could expect was each time more pain until the end.
Still, the emptiness with her leaving. I wish I could just hug her and let go, but we know we can never let go.
a minha avo faleceu. A sua vida aos poucos foi-se tornando numa tortura, com as dores, dependencia, dificuldade de comunicar pois quase nao conseguia falar. Extremamente lucida, sabia que nao havia esperanca de melhoras. O seu final veio provavelmente como uma dadiva, uma libertacao.
Mesmo com todo o raciocinio, o vazio e a tristeza com a sua partida. Eu gostaria de poder abraca-la e deixa-la ir, mas todos sabemos que e impossivel somente deixar partir.
