" My parents pulled memories from the root and packed them into their suitcase when we immigrated here.

Stories told enthusiastically embellished con amor y agradecimiento for growth, healing, conflict, and trauma.

Recuerdos I'll retell when I remember how I reached my American dream.
El destino final.

And how my ancestors know that. "
