Frank Sinatra was my late grandfather's favorite singer. My mother says that in relation to his musical taste, he was a very learned man. knowing this makes me happy, after all, I never met my grandfather, since he died long before I was born. But it's nice to know a few things about him, it makes me think he was always there. From the stories my mother tells, he couldn't necessarily be the best father in the world, but in a way he loved his daughters. With my grandmother, he had 8 children all women, his only son, was born from a case he had in Rio de Janeiro. He was very fond of all his daughters studying, however, currently only my mother and one of her younger sisters who have higher education. The rest, some finished school until high school and others only until elementary school. This is a little sad, but it is because of this that my mother always wanted me and my younger sister to be studious, lest we end up like their sisters. They depended a lot on their husbands and were just housewives, one of the older sisters, left for São Paulo when my grandfather was about to die. My mother was the only one who worked hard to get everything she has today, a big house, her own car, her own salary ... My parents live well, of my aunts, only 3 (counting my mother) are married, the rest parted ways and never married again. Some of my aunt live alone, as their children have already left home and built their lives. Others still have children in the house, one of my aunts died when my cousin was only 11/13 years old. Seeing so much happening and knowing things that happened in the past of my mother's family makes me a little sad. After all, I believe that this was not what my grandfather wanted for them, but it was the path that some followed ... My mother chose studies and work, she managed to grow well in life, since my other aunts, they never had a salary fixed because they never worked or left their jobs to be housewives. my mother hopes that this will serve as an example for me and my sister, so that we will always struggle to have our own things and never depend on a man for anything. For her, being dependent on a man is almost an insult. But she knows that many times, she needed my father's support, like to go to college even after she was older and to help with the things that happen in our family ... For all intents and purposes, my father is the only son-in-law of my grandfather, who does something for everyone in this family. Having support for her is a common thing, bad is that you are totally dependent on him. Anyway, study girls! Study so that you can conquer the world and not depend on man. Study is the best inheritance that our parents can give us.
