Thanked Recalling And my grandmother for His Legacy (II / II)

A day that our memories will be our riqueza.Paul Géraldy

My grandfather's first marriage was the father of two sons, who formed with him, because from a very young man separated from his wife, then in his second marriage were born my mother and my aunt, who shared his life with him , who always accompanied him to the day of his death, daughters who gave him all the support they needed. Daughters who deserve to be called selfless and I know, especially my mother, who adored his father.

I must admit that my grandfather was my real father, looked after me like a real child. I paid for my education in primary, secondary and university in the best schools, never spared anything for my education, thank you always live on in me and like everything that he provided me with their actions, deeds. In addition to their advice to keep in mind that I shared from small and even large, not depending on anyone, try to seize the opportunity presented to you and to do so, to excel, be good at what we intend to achieve, not be average, do with ethics, morality, responsibility, tenacity, humility and dignity, especially with exertion.

While the time I shared with him, my family never saw him drinking, smoking, was very secretive, little talking, always studying, respecting others, well loved and known in the city, as I know that it was , respected him, as did his brother, Dr. Juan de Dios Vanegas, who often went by our house to talk, listen to music, performances of it with fellow musicians, as noted, were sometimes at home.

Always struck me since my childhood, who always dressed in suits, all white shoes, I never knew the reason for it. Very Catholic, fully identified with their religion, belief.

I can call it is a righteous, noble, friendly, always helping people when they asked collaborations often involved in some church services, ceremonies and did not charge as organist. Willing to help. Every day brought home to the fruit, special breads, cheeses, often given away or bought it, not missing anything at home and above all he knew to share.

Was very little conversation with the family, especially issues of daily living, we were very little at meals, it is usually spent alone in his room reading or writing music or playing an instrument. Always struck me, his isolation, his behavior, he never hear complain, their way of life. I never insulted, scolded, looking for harmony, solitude my aunt, older sister of my mother, why that of that way of life, answered, that he was isolated from the groups after the death of his mother , who did it in his arms. Said my aunt, who adored his mother, who at a young age she left alone, took charge of caring, to meet all your needs, it is fully delivered until the time of his death. All I remember at the age of four years. it seems I had then. I was always with his mother and cared for and loved very much hard, I remember very little of my great-grandmother.

Definitely, her death was very significant in his life until the end that was isolated as mentioned, spent much time at home with their instruments, as mentioned, writing music. making musical arrangements, always active paying tuition.

My surprise was that when I finished my high school, although it was in favor of m uncle Dr. Juan de Dios Vanegas was the rector of the University of León older to enter and could take any of the traditional careers no problem, in addition to all the precautions in terms of notes, said to me when I least expected it, you go to study abroad. At that time I was interested in the U.S. especially California Berkley, and that ignorance of not having academic orientation, I was very interested Astronomy stuff I studied in my last year of high school and I was motivated by the extraordinary lessons given us the director Calaza school, the late Father Puig Spanish, should not have that specialty, influenced by family friend I decided on engineering, but the tradition of advocacy has been Vanegas.

I wrote to the university, I accept ready to go, but for those things in life you do not drive, appeared house a friend of my grandfather and persuaded him to send me to the Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM), Mexico to study where he was a child, studying undergraduate physics - mathematics, made him see the advantages of being close to an acquaintance., a fellow So he decided to send me to Monterrey, where I finished my undergraduate and graduate studies.

Once I started my career, half of it, I felt a little frustrated with the lack of humanism in engineering, but did not know what that career would bring me towards my professional growth of staff, I recognize I had my doubts and contacted to send me to Spain to study international law, or else return the country to start law school. His refusal was exhaustive and I said, recalling the efforts made to achieve a career that would help me in the transition of my life.

For these things in this dimension everything is possible, one day I passed by house said he wanted to talk to me, was half of my career, I returned to visit family, he told me about their economic problems, the inability to continue to help, especially in an expensive institution as was the ITESM.

I understood her distress, told him not to worry, I'm motivated to go to the North American Embassy and request a grant from AID (American International Development). I did it with confidence, sure that I would. Talk to the charge of the scholarship, I discuss my situation, I had to fill out all required precautions and told me not guarantee an affirmative response.

I went to where a man, asked him to give away the return ticket to Monterrey and one day he repaid, fortunately I did and so I returned to the institution, the rector talked to pose my problem and allowed me to register and all were in expectation of the response to my request for scholarship.

Fortunately the two months into the course I get a notice that the grant was approved, scholarship, which covered all expenses the rest of my career, a comprehensive scholarship, never forget that institution, above all, confidence it had on me, I turned to her fully and certainly part of my education I owe to it.

Definitely appreciate everything that my grandfather gave me in life, thanks to intangible and not let the tradition of the Vanegas, in honor of his effort, I opted for law school where I graduated, I served as a time not with excellence as the Vanegas group of famous criminologists did as I did what I could not share some things with the right irregular ethics violations, personal interests, injustice, decided to identify more with industrial engineering where I made great satisfaction.

I hope that his spirit must be in a proper place for those who fulfill their mission, no doubt that with his mother and mine (dear daughter) and very close to God ... You can be sure to try in life the best of me and bring my knowledge to help anyone who demands it ... .. Thanks for helping Grandpa your way through this plane, and we'll see ... ..
