Grandpa was born in September
23 of 1921 in PUEBLORICO Antioquia. He was raised in a humble family of coffee
farmers and he was the older brother of 15 siblings. During his childhood he
passed through dangerous and scary events, as the civil war between LIBERALES
and CONSERVADORES , but before that, he had passed through the most painful and
depressing moment in his life; The dead of his parents. Later he became as
father and mother of his young siblings then with the past of the time he met
grandma and both got married.
The main things that I
admire from my grandfather are: his unbelievable good humor that makes you get
amused during his awesome stories, but the most important value which I admire
is his inexhaustible patience to advice to people and relatives who needs a
good advice to figure out a problem in their lives. Grandpa has a lot of
experience to solve problems without violence because he’s passed for many things
in his life and this made him wiser than anyone that I know in Medellin.
Grandpa’s achievements have
been many but the most important have been the following: His first achievement
was during his youth because he should raise and get food for his young
siblings and he made it. The second was when he should move to Medellin with
grandma and his children and at that moment they were two parents in charge of
eleven children, and no one knew the city of Medellin, It was in the 50s. Then grandpa
dealt with the circumstances and he found the answer to get over the needs of his
family in a strange environment. He
started to be smart in the business of selling pigs then with the pass of time
he became as godfather of pigs business in the town of Itagui
After all bad things and
tough moments we are here “My family and I” but all this is because my grandfather
has been a leader, a father, a support that we can share our worries and the
most important thing is: he’s been a man with extraordinary values that makes
me proud of the early beginnings of my family.
