Feliz dia de la Independencia Mexico. Happy Independence Day Mexico. Watching El Grito de Mexico on Univision. Te quiero abuelita, mi angel guardia con dios. I love you grandma, my guardian angel with God in heaven. This was a song my beloved grandmother and I used to love to sing together. She was the BESTEST abuelita in the whole wide world. My grandmother was born in Guadalajara, Mexico from Spanish parents. My grandmother loved Mexico so much, she wanted me to learn the culture first hand growing up. So, my grandma, my mom and I would travel all around Mexico my entire adolescence during my school summer breaks. In order for me to actually feel the Mexican culture, my grandmother had us traveling by bus, train and ferry and we would lodge in town with all of the locals. Priceless memories. ❤ She passed away at 91 in 2006. ❤
As an aside, I LOVE this Luis Miguel album titled, Segundo Romance. He remade ALL of the song classics from the early to mid 1900s. Which happened to be ALL of my grandmother's favorite songs. So... when I fell in love with this album, I knew all the lyrics by heart and was able to sing with my grandma. ❤
