I’m sorry I take after you, I’m stubborn and right now I’m honestly scared. I can’t lose my mama… What would I do without you?
I can help, I can do all of the cooking and cleaning so you can focus on getting better. How the heck am I going to work knowing that you’re not getting better? My last memories wouldn’t be of a grumpy b-word, it would be of my mama who is a warrior and can fight through anything. I’m not going to have to make any last memories of you for a while, you’re going to be around for a while. Long enough to see me get married to the woman I love and, God willing, become a mama myself to some awesome kiddos. Mama, please let me be around for this..

I’m not sorry you’re like me, mija, I’m just realising what I put your abuela through. I know you are, Val, I’m a little scared too. You listen to me, whether I’m here or not, you will never lose me, understand? For now, I’m praying that I’ll get to be here for years to come. You’d realise just how strong you really are, you’ll see the woman I see you be everyday.
You can do that stuff, once I’ve had surgery. There’s nothing I can do to get better right now, I have to wait for surgery and then after that I can focus on healing. TI know, mija, but I don’t want you risking your job. I am a warrior because I have something worth fighting for. You think I’m gonna pass up on the chance of getting to be a part of your life and the many milestones you’ll encounter? You’re so grown up now. I miss when you were little and you’d crawl into my lap and I’d just play with your hair, you’d almost always fall asleep. Your Mom wasn’t too happy if I did that just before she was leaving for a rehearsal.
