When i was a young girl, my favorite relative was my mother’s father, whom i called abuelito. i could talk to him about all sorts of things—he in his broken english, me in my not-so-perfect spanish. still, i did not talk to him as much as i could. i was busy with school, with sports, and with friends. he seemed to understand; he always encouraged me to enjoy life. now, abuelito is long gone—he died over 20 years ago. i wish i knew more about his life. which statement best expresses the author’s perspective of her grandfather? she has some regrets about not spending more time with her grandfather. she enjoyed being with her grandfather when she was younger more than she did when she was older. she feels that her grandfather has abandoned her. she would not change anything about the time she spent with her grandfather because it was so precious to her.
