A photo that is meaningfull to me


I took this photo at the end of July 2013, during my winter vacations, when I traveled from Parral to Santiago to visit my relatives. 


The photo shows my grandfather and my grandmother, in the living room of their apartment; the quality is not the best, my phone back then did not have as good a camera as the ones that exist now.


This photo is very important to me, because it is the last photo I have of my grandfather before he died of cancer in August of that same year. 


It brings me nice memories of that day, we went to Fantasyland and spent the whole day together, we laughed and talked a lot, since it had been many months since we had seen each other, because the distance limited us to see each other often; it also brings me some sorrow, since that same day he offered me to stay overnight, to go to the beach together the next day and I could not, because I had to return to my uncles' house, which was where I was staying. 


Then I went back to Parral, but the following week I had to travel again to Santiago to see my grandfather... this time he was bedridden, unable to speak....

This is one of the few photos I have of him, and of the last day I heard his voice, which is why it is so meaningful to me.
