Ten years ago Apolonia Gomez was offered to return home by God, she humbly accepted and left this earth. Ten years later I her grandson look up to her for her strong faith in God and her unique feminist ways. Sure she was a mother, but after hearing so many stories about her I can't help but classify her as a feminist, and I'm actually proud of it. So Today grandma I pray to God that you are enjoying heaven with the grandfather I never got to meet and the parents that you never met in your living life.
I know you are watching me from heaven, praying for me to continue on trying to bring comfort to those that are overlooked. One day I will make a difference in Brownsville, I will put an end to the 'I can't do it' attitude this small city has.
Goodnight grandmother, one day I will see you again in heaven.
