Tizon's love for Lola, and Lola's love for him, were not *incidental* to the violations of her rights, of her enslavement.

That bond, and the caregiving, were the basis, the cause, the reason of her exploitation. It was also one of her joys [so she says, to him].

My grandmother was sixteen years old when she married my grandfather, who had two small children and had already been widowed twice.

She was his neighbor's daughter. He liked the look of her. He needed someone to take care of the house, to take care of the children.

My grandmother is dead. In her lifetime, other grandchildren tried to get her to tell her life story, but it was too painful to relive.

Nothing romantic about my grandparents. Trying to decide if I want to talk to grandpa one last time but I also have urge to yell at him.

I feel blessed my grandmother has opened up to tell me her story re: him in the last year that her children weren't as prepared to hear.

Yes, there are many stories in my family that I will never get to hear-- being able to be connected to that suppressed history matters
