À propos de cet audio
While she laid on what she thought was her deathbed, my hilarious, Colombian-American Grandma finally shared the tragedy of her life. I learned that her dad abandoned her at birth, her mom sold her to be an indentured servant at 8 years old, her sisters outcasted her, and much to my surprise, I learned that my Grandpa beat the sh$t out of her, cheated on her, and verbally abused her for their entire marriage.
I could understand her dad leaving- her mom was a c--t, I could understand her mom selling her to be a servant- young Grandma’s work ethic was worth top dollar on the child labor market, but hearing about Grandpa's abuse lit a fire within me that I hadn’t felt since facing off against the Taliban. That night in the hospital, I decided to move in with them to teach Grandpa a long-awaited lesson in respect.
This is the story of protecting Grandma from my 88 year old, proud, Colombian Grandpa, who I grew up loving. If that's not weird enough, I was 30, a Captain in the Marine Corps recently home from Afghanistan (with a few screws loose) and I was living in their sunroom in a senior citizen community in San Diego. Grandma and I had a blast together, and Grandpa got what was coming to him.
