DESCRIBE A DRAMATIC EXPERIENCE

When I was young my great-grandmother told me a dramatic story that
she lived in the 40s. She was living in Pedernales with her beautiful family,
which was composed by four daughters and her husband.
Every three months she took her daughters to the doctor that lived in
Manta. A winter day, she was on the way to that city, to her sisters house.
Everything was fine as always but suddenly a telegram arrived saying that her
husband had died because his gun had been fired. She was impressed with the
notice, so she inmediately ran to her cousin to tell him the unexpected news.
Sadly she left her daughters with her sister, and she went to the bus
station with her cousin to return as soon as possible to Perdernales, but
unfortunately the next bus would leave in a week because at that time the buses
didnt travel regularly.
They didnt know what to do, they were desperate, but luckily they found
two horses in a house of a friend. They inmediately began to travel on rocky
roads, but winter was very strong and it was raining too much, that the mud was
an obstacle. After two days, they were dirty, hungry, tired and cold. At the night
of the second day, they felt that they were dying, with her last breath, she
prayed to God. It was raining too much but in the dark of the night a light
appeared, they felt no fear, so they followed the light unhesitatingly. Amazingly
they arrived to a refuge where they spent the night.
The next day, was a sunny day. They arrived to Pedernales, but
unfortunately was too late, because my great-grandfathers body had been
buried by his mother. Until today, the story of my great-gradfathers death is a
mistery, because all my family are convinced that its impossible that the gun
been fired on his head.
