Cristina Zenato Instagram – It’s time to say goodbye.
I have waited for several months, but the truth is that I knew her time had come from the first few times she stopped showing up for the dive.
Grandma had been at the dive site for nearly 14 years, but considering Caribbean Reef sharks live an average of 15-19 years and only show up once they are young adults, I knew her time was coming.
Grandma had started to show the signs of aging, something I have seen way too many times. She was thin, with a gaunt look that one acquires towards the end of life. She was no longer interested in coming in and started to skip some days.
Grandma is gone, but I still look into the blurred blue, hoping to see her swimming through. My relationship with them is a unique one. It’s one of love and hope and worry. It’s one of never closure because I never really know. It’s one that leaves a piece of my soul empty every time one goes and never comes back.
Image of Grandma, named after her light skin color, as gray as the hair of a grandma, and her very calm predisposition. Grandma had a blemish in her left eye and Periodontitis.
