1.I enter the front door of my house and I saw my mom seating on the sofa. I remember her face she was looking at me directly unto my eyes. I was just thinking what did I do wrong. The first thing that she told me was “Flor come and have a seat here next to me”. I went to sit next to her and she asked me. “How are you doing in school?” I dint answer anything and I turned around and look directly to her eyes. “Tell me the truth”. “ Is better if you tell me now”. I did not answer anything. “What is this she asked me?” It was a piece of paper. She unfolded it and it was my absences. “You thought I wasn’t going to know this” she said. She stood up and started to scream at me. “I work all day, six days a week so that I could give you everything you want and you pay me this way”. Her faces look like she wanted to cry. She was very disappointed of me; I could see it in her eyes. In that moment I felt like I wasn’t a good daughter. She told me that she was going to forgive me but I had to do better in school and that I was going to go to school. I told her yes and she said but “please dot do it again I think I don’t reserve this”. “I know you are a good daughter, and I trust you.”
2. I remember she was seated I the sofa watching novellas. With her hands cross and with her blanket by her side. “ Mom so how is your novella going” “ Is alright” she said she looked like she didn’t remember that it was her birthday. I didn’t know if she didn’t remember or she dint want to remember. I went and sat next to her and I huge her. She ask me “so why is this huge for”. “As much as I remember you don’t like when I huge you and you like hugging either” she said. She look at me in a weird way. “Mom how can I forget that today is your birthday” “I thought you didn’t, nobody remembers anything in this house”. She look at me and smile. I told her mom “I don’t have anything for you because I don’t have money, the only thing I have is my love” she said, “Mija is ok the greatest present you can give me is that”. She huge me back and kiss me at my chick. She grab me from my hands and look at me and something from her eyes come out. It was a tear. I saw the tear coming down her chick more and more, and then she told me “I love you!!!”.
3. She is dancing, doing all her moves in the center of the pista (dance floor). Moving like she is a 15 year old woman. I could not forget how my mom was dancing. How can you call someone mom if she does the same thing you do? Moving like jello all around. Showing all her moves to other people and especially my dad. Is she ok, or something is wrong with her I ask my self. I saw her coming to where I was. She looked tired, like a tomato all red. “Mom you don’t feel good right” I ask her. “Yes I feel good” “How can you dance like that mom, that energy that I don’t have, I am jealous of you” I told her. She didn’t answer and she looked at me and she sat at the chair that it was next to me. I remember that night, every one ask us if we were sisters and my mom always said yes. We had a good time until it was time to go home. I told her “Mom lets go” and she said “No wait” “Can we go now?” I ask her. “No wait ill tell you when is time to go” se said. I was looking at her, she didn’t want to go home, and she kept talking with her friends and my dad. I could not forget her smile. It was from one end to another. She was having a good time. Finally she got up and went towards me and told me “Ok lets go because I am tired” “Finally!” I said.
4. Me yelling and screaming, “mom moms don’t leave me”. I don’t know how I could remember this if it has passed a lot of time. I was just a five year old little girl. My face was between two poles I was holding them with both of my hands. My moms face looked like she wanted to cry. I just remember her face. She was looking at me directly into my eyes. She wanted to cry. I just saw it on her eyes. She looked at me like for five minutes and then went back and hold my hands and then went back and hold my hands and told me “is going to be ok”. I huge her back and she told me, “ill see you later don’t cry anymore”. I huge her again and then she walk down the street, looking back at smiling at me.
5. “No don’t put the peppers in there”, they don’t go there”. “Flor let me help you and teach you how to do the right things for the mole”. “Ok mom” I saw her and she looked mad that I was doing everything wrong. She just moved her head side to side and said “no, no, no”. I have to teach you because you don’t know anything she told me. I just stared at her. Then she started to tell me all the procedures to do it. After putting the chiles on the blender and doing it all wrong she told me to fry the sesame and sunflower seeds for about five minutes. I was very happy because I did it right. Then she told me “flor put all the ingredients in the blender”. I told her “wish ones”. And she said “oh my god in what world are you in”. I didn’t say anything. Then she told me “put the Chile, sesame, sunflower seeds, a piece of chocolate and salt and chicken soup. Then put the sauce in the pan with a little amount of oil. Know let in boiled for 35 minutes and in would be ready to eat”. I told her “I though it was for difficult to do but is not”. “Mija it is”.
