An invented history

He go in search of a better life, she didn't know how to ask him to remain. Before going away, he said to her that he would write, that it would order him money, and he would return. She remained alone in that village, with her seven children and with a too small hope.
The trip was very long, very sad. When he went down the ship and saw that new world, he knew that he would never go back. She could not read, also was nothing to read. 
Money did not come and she fed her children with her work, with her fear, with her loneliness.
 After five years he found another woman, had other children, constructed another house and other dreams. After five years, she dressed of mourning, forgot the promises, buried the hope and erased that name of his mouth. He never returned and nobody wanted to remember it.
Nobody spoke to me about my grandfather, ever.  This is an invented history.
