My mother
I have so many memories of my mother, she was the strongest and kindest person I have ever known. She taught me to fight for what I believe in and have pride in my culture. Growing up she made sure I went to school, made our meals, cleaned, would take classes during the day and work at night.
She was the kind of mother that never let me want for anything because she taught me that a home was not a place and that her love is everywhere. I feel my mother's love in flowers that bloom, in homemade tamales, in a rainy afternoon watching a bulls game eating popcorn, in snowflakes that touch my face, in the colonial streets of Mexico where we delivered milk, in long road trips across the country that created sing along dance routines, in the sounds of cumbia, baladas and rock, in the quietness of hikes in parks, in my husband's embrace and in the eyes of my son and his smile, in the wonderful people I've met and every life challenge I've overcome.
My mother faced her disease with courage and never surrendered to her pain. She was taken from us too soon and had so many more memories to make.
My mother was and is my hero.
