I’m in my grandmother’s attic. What a disaster! She has lived in this house for more than eighty
years. She was born here, she was married here, and she buried six dogs and fi ve cats in the
backyard. She even has a kitchen sink in the corner! She has saved everything—from (desde)
books and clothing to (hasta) photos, furniture, and old curtains. She has told me many times
that I can have all the furniture. She has also told my sister that she can have all the furniture.
I’ve been in this attic on countless occasions and I know that I haven’t seen anything from this
century. What (lo que) she has saved wouldn’t fi t into a department store.
