Q: How did you meet Carmen?
A: The first time I met Señora Carmen, that’s how I always called her, was when David said to me” do you want to meet my mom?”
When I met her, I was shocked to learn that we shared the same first name. I knew from that moment that we would get along really well.
Señora Carmen loves my son, Luis and daughter, Emma very much. She always made white rice for Emma because Emma loves grandma’s rice. Emma would always say to me “why can’t you make white rice like grandma”.
Señora Carmen would always ask for Luis, send him gifts, and give me motherly advice regarding Luis when I needed it and when I didn’t need it. Thats just what grandmas do!
I will miss her very much but have peace in my heart knowing that she is resting and smiling down at all of us, proudly saying “ my son David is in good hands and my daughters have gained a sister in law, niece and nephew.
Thank you for embracing us like you did, Señora Carmen, until we meet again!
Carmen Milagros Nieves
