I watched you fill out every application at the kitchen table after your closing shifts. Nobody handed you this — you built it. First of us to go, but not the last. The little cousins are watching you now, sis. Proud isn't a big enough word.

Mija, I kept every report card since kindergarten in the shoebox under my bed. This fall we drive you to campus and I will only cry a little bit. Okay, a lot. Te quiero mucho.
