My grandpa cane
When my grandpa was younger and still lived in Poza Rica, Veracruz, where he used to have a big old house and also ranch not for working purposes but just for a hobby, as it was a long time ago I do not remember quite well a lot of details about the ranch but I do remember how he used to like to be there for must of the time, because after he retired from work he did not want to bored without anything interesting to do, after all only my grandma and he where living in Poza Rica at that time.
After sometime that I was not able to visit them in Poza Rica, one day my father told me that my grandpa got hurt in the ranch so he was going to sell it and they were going to move to Monterrey, as I said before I do not remember much of the ranch, I just have some photos about it. But I remember that when I heard about that I got sad because I used to enjoy my time in Poza Rica with some cousins that live there, after everything was sort my grandparents start to live in Monterrey and my grandpa got surgery on the injury that start all the moving thing.
After the surgery he began to use a cane that the doctor instructed him to use at first he did not like it because he used to say that it made him look older than he was, but after some time or maybe years he started to notice that with out the cane, he walking was getting harder to do, so he start to but any type of cane that he found, some fancy for fancy occasions, some just for regular use and he even got one that had a sole that was anti skid for those rainy days but after he started to lose them, he stop buying new ones and began to make his own and he almost made fifteen cane all distributed in his house.
Some time later I move here to Monterrey for my studies and I start to live with him, I always complain about the number of cane that he kept in the house specially in car most of the time because they were always in the way, now that he passed away, my father and I decide to still keep some of his cane just for sentimental reasons and I decide to keep the fancy one for me when the time comes for me to used it.
