I can’t tell you how much I love that you loved her, how much I loved her…at least before, and more importantly…after… I can’t tell you how much I…wanted those same things…the dark hair, the dark skin, the language to make ME part of THEM as I felt as if I were the “other”, just in the opposite way… You ARE Latina my love! Just like your Abuelita, like your Dad… Be proud! Stand tall! Speak loud and strong and let no one ever again silence your beautiful soul!
