A pulling, a gravitational force, is pulling you toward a person you have never met before. something deep, more abstruse. A weird feeling of magnetism leaves you wondering what is going on with you, are you going insane? You can't put it into words. You become really aware of their presence, and are utterly confused by the sudden sensations in your body, mind and soul whenever your paths cross. Does that sound familiar? Has it ever happened to you?

This is to the person that I want to meet the most, I want to know the most...grandma.
I kept collecting your pictures asking everyone about anything they knew about you, all the information's I knew it, how did you deal with everyone, how were you when you get mad, I even asked about how were you at cooking and what were you good at the most.
I kept doing this before I know that I love to document or to photograph it's not about making a project it was something deeper than that. something told me that I still have the chance to know you.
I've always felt that I'm attached to you .. from the moment of my birth even my name was somehow attached to you
the pictures that I've collected made me more attached and felt all the actions of you ,I can tell you had the sense of humor I can also recognize from the pictures how people wanted always to be around you..

grandma i still miss you..
