My grandma told me she got it in either France or Italy but now I'm gonna go with Italy! I LOVED my Tia Concha. She was hardcore and staunch but man, that woman loved me fully. She died the night I went into surgery for my apendix and now I have a piece of her and my grandmother at the same time.

Tell your Tia your friend had a Tia Concha too! Something else. When I was telling people at bingo that my grandmother was not going to be coming back 2 sisters that sit at the table behind me asked me what my grandmother's name was and I told them "Vicenta" and they both gasped and said "We had a grandma Vicenta too!"

My cousin who died has 6 or 7 kids in the system. Only one is out of the styem and connected to our family and it is the daughter that she named after my grandmother

I'm so saddened to hear of your loss. Your grandmother sounded like a great lady!

Condolences Richard.

I can't read all you wrote for the tears in my eyes. oh richard. much love to you baby

So sorry to hear, Supa.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

We thank you very much for that and greatful that that's where it was comming from for you

Oh Honey, I'm sorry for your loss.
But I am happy for your abuelita (and you and your family) that she is at peace and out of pain and suffering. She will live on in you, no doubt.
She had a very special nieto.

Richard... That was very beautiful.

I am speechless

So sorry to hear about your loss Supa. She sounds like she was awesome. I can relate, because I too had a Mexican grandmother.

She was awesome. Her sense of humor, good lord All my life people never think I'm related to my Mexican family. Here I am this little white boy with Green Eyes, hanging around Poncho Villa

One time at Bingo we were sitting there playing the game and I needed the power ball number to win the jackpot and I said "Look grandma, I'm on for the powerball!"
The game ends but I didn't win So the lady that was sitting across from us puts her hand on her heart as a gesture of sweetness and she says:

"How sweet, he called you grandma"

Me: Yeah, because she's my grandma. From birth!

My grandma replies I am?



Even in her illness and the suffering of these last 2 weeks she still had a sliver of that humor because I told her that it was OK to let go when she was ready. Later when talking with my dad I told him I told her that and he started laughing and I was like, what's so funny?! He said that she told him that everyone's been telling her it was OK to let go and she said I let go and nothing happens! Awwww

She was my Godmother. My uncle Ronnie, her middle son is my Godfather. It's a hard thing to process, feeling relief. Everybody in the family feels that. But to feel relief means that she is no longer living because living equals pain. Towards the end I kept wishing for her suffering to end but realized what that really meant. There was no end to the suffering in life, only death. Intellectually I know there is no malice connected to the desire for her suffering to end but that little flash of guilt still tries to pry it's way into your brain.

Fuck off guilt, you're not welcome. And yes, I will carry the torch she passed Thank you for posting on her thread

Also, Pops is my nickname from birth. It is short for Papasito (litte daddy) and my dad's side of the family never called me by my birthname, only my nickname. Even at 39 and in the last time I saw her my grandmother called me Pops

Very sorry to hear this. You have written a beautiful tribute to her.

It is hard to lose a person that means so much to you. My great grandmother passed away in 2002. I still miss her every damn day.
She was the only relative besides my mom that I was close to.
I will remember and honour her as long as I live.
I know you will do the same.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

What a beautiful post, Supa. I'm glad you seem to be doing alright with it. Still, I hope you'll see her again.

Phishanga said:

I hope so too cuz if I don't that means I'm in a bad place! Thank you for your sentiments Shanga

Words fail me Supa.

Another friend that I am thankful to see

To all the devoted Catholics....

When my grandmother let me have the rosary she said "you can wear it under your shirt" so that is how I'm wearing it. Not on the outside like Amorbella. I'm not as hardcore as her

It's been elusive for so long, freedom is mine today

Procrastination had me down, look what I have found, I found:

Strength, Courage and Wisdom
It's been inside of me all along
Strength, Courage and Wisdom inside of me....
India Arie - Strength, Courage and Wisdom


There are so many words I would use to describe my Grandmother but Strength, Courage and Wisdom describe the person my grandma was perfectly. She was incredibly strong throughout her life, she was courageous against her illness and she shared her wisdom. And it is strength, courage and wisdom that she inspired me to find within myself. Anniversaries are very important to me and I wanted to mention 2 of them. Yesterday, was my grandmother's 87th birthday and today is 3 months to the day from when I posted this thread about coming out to her:


I'm so sorry hun, but she is in a better place now. I know you will wear that rosary proudly and with honor.
You are in my prayers


love you so much honey
