Izzy writes, "This happened to me years ago.
I want to say I was 16 to 17 years old.
I was at home with my parents and my sister when my dad got word that my great-grandma from my dad's side, who lived into her 90s, was starting to fade in health and that she wouldn't last-
Oh
... very long.
She was a hearty woman and very, very traditional." We're talking old school.
"She was tough as nails-
Got it
... and sweet at heart." Okay.
We love you, Abuela.
Aw.
So now I do need to add a bit of context for the story.
This person listens to Story Sirens.
They know.
They know.
They know.
They know we love context.
Give me the context.
Yeah
... flee due to famine.
But before that, my great-great-great-grandfather was very wealthy and owned a third of an island of Tenerife.
Wow, Izzy.
