you were born the first son of parents that had immigrated to the states from cuba. with nothing but the clothes on their backs, they had wanted to provide a better life for you. for the siblings that would come after you. and they had. despite all the claims that they would see only failure. that they would return to their homeland, to the homes still opened to them by your grandparents. but they had always been determined, especially your mother. who had stayed up every night with you .

in those early years, life had been a struggle. your parents had known they were pregnant before they had made the change. the sacrifice, to pull themselves away from all that they had known. simply to ensure that you were given the life that you deserved. the start to something wonderful. and in the years that followed, your mother ensured that you were seen as the american you had been born as. while english had not been your first language, you had thrived all the same. you had learned it alongside your native tongue, for your parents ensured that you would never lose that side of you. that you would be the first cuban american in your lineage. and throughout the years that would follow, you would wear that claim as a badge .

the determination that coursed through your mother’s blood had been passed on to you. and it was that determination that found you excelling within your studies. from primary to secondary, and ultimately to the law school that you had been awarded a scholarship to. for law had always been an interest to you. an idea that had sparked from such a young age, and had firmly stuck within your brain. it had been a simple dream at first. something sparked by the mind of a young boy with big hopes. but eventually, your teachers had begun to encourage it. they had advised you to stick with it, to hang on to such an ideal and to run with it as far as you could. sometimes, you wondered if they knew how they had shaped your life. how they had propelled you into the seat that you would one day claim for yourself .

for texas had never been your final destination. not once you had gone off to one of the most prestigious law schools in the country. which had eventually led you to new york city. where you had begun to make a name for yourself. where you had begun to build the life that you had always wanted. always dreamed about. and in that, your parents had been awarded something even better. for while they had taken care of you in your youth, you had begun to take care of them in their old age. as was tradition .

yet life had taken an unexpected turn, some years ago. when your best friend had called you in the middle of the night. when her tears had all but slipped through the receiver of your phone. and you had not wasted time, as the flight was booked. a one way, for you had not known what was needed. you had not known that you would find yourself spending more time in woodside than in your home. the one that had begun to seemingly grow cobwebs and dust bunnies, despite how it was well looked after. but this had always been your cross, the tether that had found itself intricately knit between you and her .

as the years had slipped by, you had found yourself making a home in woodside. offering a shoulder to the woman that you had never quite seemed to put distance between. even when you had been in new york. even when you had dated. your thoughts had always strayed, always returned to the home that you perhaps had always known. had always been awarded .
