a letter to my mother she will never read

You’d do anything for me and my brother with Dad at your side.

It didn’t matter what other people thought.

You went against some of your family members’ wishes and moved out of south Chicago to the suburbs to make sure I had a better life. I learned about unpopular decisions because of you. Now he is the greatest grandfather in the world. You inspired my father, your husband, to quit drinking and saved his life. The greatest attribute was that you became an inspiration to others. It was one of the proudest moments of my life. I remember watching you walk across the stage to become a nurse. It broke my heart when you came home dejected after failing a test because of our circumstances. While we were in there together, you pointed at your textbooks and told me that education is the way out of our situation. I still have vivid memories of seeing you hiding in my bedroom to study while hiding from an alcoholic husband. You always wanted to be a nurse but never made the jump until you were finally ready. I didn’t get it at the time but now I do. I couldn’t go certain places because you said no. The area wasn’t always safe but you made it safe. We saw a lot together when I was in grade school. You told me you wouldn’t see me fail like so many others in the neighborhood. We watched the Bulls, Bears, and White Sox (although I still think you prefer the Cubs). In grade school, I would bring friends home to eat or stay at the house when their times were tough. It was about taking care of people, making relationships. You taught me that people needed me to guide them and take that first step. School may have been difficult because you went back and forth to Mexico with your family, but you did it. While doing so, you helped raise your eight siblings when my abuelito and abuelito were in a new country. Your first language was Spanish, and you became fluent in English in grade school. You have always been my number one supporter and most resilient person I know. You are my mother, but we always relied on each other. Thank you for making me into the man that I am.
