PERSONAL ANECDOTE 12 YEARS AGO

 

 

I had a very sad experience in my life when I was 12 years old. My family had a farm in Cisneros.In december my family decided to celebrate christmas on the farm. I went with my parents, my sisther, cousins, uncles and grandmother. I remember the day of the event. It was a sunday. I did not want to go to church. I wanted to stay with my grandmother and my aunt Teresita on the farm,however, they wanted to go to church and at last I went with them, too. I remember that it was more or less 4:00pm. The farm was 30 minutes from town. The was a dirt road. We went on a truck. The truck was loaded with bags of concentrate for animals. We had traveled for more or less 15 minutes when my sister and I listened when my father said " the car has no brakes." We did not understand what happen. My cousin who was 15 years old said, " quickly, jump off the truck." I went into shock. I did not know what to do. the carwas going very fast. I saw my mother and  grandmother fall. I saw when my mom ran behind the car. My mother cried, my father stayed in the car.car crashed into a tree. The car spun everybody ran to where my grandmother was. She was on the floor, she was hurt. My mother had blood on his head. Everybody  went to the health center. My grandmother was seriosly injured that day we went to Medellin. My grandmother was hospitalized for one week. My grandmother had surgery after a few days. My grandmother's health condition deteriorated.  Shewas in a "coma" for three years. This anecdote was hard for me.
