Juan & Angel,

When I was growing up, I wanted to know what my mother was like, what she remembered and even what she went through. Since you have no one to answer these questions for you I have decided to make this book so that you may come to understand me better and know that I am NOT perfect and I have made mistakes because I am only human. I will never TELL you not to do the things I have done in my life but only hope that you learn from what you will read about me in this book. This book is for you and only you. Guard it as you would your deepest darkest secret and think of making your own someday so that you may do the same for your children...
Love you forever,
Mom
