Cocora Valley

3 months ago my family decided to make a fairly quick trip to Salento, to remember the town where my maternal grandfather was born and to leave his ashes together with those of my deceased maternal grandmother just a week ago in the Cocora Valley. Our trip started from 3 in the morning where all my family was preparing, we were all going, no one was missing and it was the first trip that we all made even if it was not for the best reasons. When we were in the Cocora Valley we started walking for about an hour, when we finally found a place that we all liked, we started digging some holes since the ashes would be fertilizers for two trees that would be left there. We made a commemoration for my grandparents, I admit that I cried a lot but it was very beautiful, the valley inspired so much peace and we knew that there they would feel the same as we were feeling. We left the valley very nostalgic, but we went down to the town to have lunch and say goodbye to some relatives who lived there, at around 4 in the afternoon we were back to our house, when we arrived we all remember moments with our grandparents, and we promised to go all back in a year or two. Finally we ordered food and there ended our day full of emotions and unforgettable moments!
