This time she was very talkative one night and I don't know why she brought back the memory of a comadre she had when she lived in Valle de la Pascua, Guárico, Venezuela.
She told me that Genara had four daughters, and when they were at the age when boys were around, she married them off.
I ask her:
Just like that?
She answers me:
Yes, I don't know why she did it, I think to avoid things later.
I answer her:
I didn't see anything about those men, if they worked, if they were good or looked good, I married them and that was it.
She says:
Yes, I never knew her reasons.
Then, she starts talking about one of her daughters who was born a girl from the marriage. She tells me that her comadre's daughter did not feed her and cried day and night. The husband took the child and took her to her grandmother (my mother's mother-in-law) and explained to her why he was taking the child to her and that her daughter was going to let her die.
She said that she also took her mother's daughter, because it had nothing to do with her, not with the girl.
I think, maybe she was in a depressive state because of the way she started the relationship and the way her mother proceeded, well in my mind.
Then her memory went further, she says that when one of her comadre's children was small she was bitten by many ants, it started to rain and the girl got wet with the rain water. This caused the girl to swell up (she points to a glass of water and tells me she swelled up like that glass of water).
Her comadre could not find what to do and looked for my mother's brother who lived with her and asked him to take her to the hospital...as it was raining, in those days there was very little transportation, my uncle (being a child, he said come on) took a towel and carried the girl and covered her, he walked many blocks to get to the hospital.
With the child covered so that she would not get wet, they arrived at the hospital.
The doctor on duty was known to them and asked the lady who brought them to the hospital at that hour, the mother told the story and the doctor went on to treat the girl. From there my mother's mother's mother said that the girl was my uncle's daughter because of the gesture she made to accompany her mother to the hospital.
Walking, under a downpour. He didn't notice that he was just a boy.
My mother said, my brother may he rest in peace and may his path be illuminated and my comadre I never heard from her again when we went to live in Cantaura, Anzoátegui, Venezuela.
It reminds me again, in those times there was very little transportation and at that time even less....
I like it when my mother tells me her memories that come to her and I can record them. They are her experiences and that is how they will be remembered.
