10.) Akhu
I know my paternal side of the family better than my maternal one. I’m sure if I was able to just ask my mother about them, she’d tell me information for hours, but I am currently unable to simply phone her as I 1) do not have phone service that allows for calling into Mexico, and 2) she does not have a phone with service on it at all right now, she cannot afford it. It really sucks. I miss talking to my mom. That aside, I do know about her own mom who passed on when I was like...sixteen, or so? I may be misremembering. I always called her “Mamita” as a kid. Never even knew her real name till a couple years before she passed on. She was just Mamita to me. Then, there’s my paternal grandparents; Grandpa died when I was little, and Grammy when I was thirteen. She didn’t like me sometimes, but in her defense, I was a badly thoughtless child at times.
I know they’re all with me still, unseen.
