I wish to speak of my mother
for me has been the most important woman
died last year
I remember how I had
episodes of his life
being small
how saw German planes
the Franco side
mining factory bombing Mieres
in Asturias
how his father imprisoned
for political reasons
The years of hunger
between 1940 and 1950
which forced them to abandon their Asturias mistress
and move
Leon
to work in the mines of El Bierzo.
After a while
my grandmother died
and my mother
had to take care of his six brethren
was the largest
with only 10 years.
His father
remarried
a widow
four children
and had two more.
Whereupon became 12.
And she being the oldest woman
had to take over
of household tasks throughout family.
At that time the man collaborated in household chores.
My mother
married
and finally seems relieved of both work
but had four children
and the story was repeated, also grandchildren
his life was very hard
and hard
I want to emphasize his goodness and delivery for all of us
has been a fighter
like so many others that day
perform the work
she had developed before
