Rapid deportations are stripped of due process.
It was my mother who taught me to love Laredo. From Mexico City, my mother said she loved Laredo because in Laredo she felt like somebody. She said that here she was not one of millions. Here, she was Mrs. Frank, a businesswoman, mother of four daughters, well known, and admired. Like her love of dancing, she felt that in Laredo her energy and efforts were reciprocated, and she reminded me always, “En este mundo, nada mas dejas un buen hacer.”
I came back to live in Laredo 24 years ago with my husband, Frank, whom I met in NYC at architecture school.
We welcome LareDOS! It is good to have this unique and outstanding voice speaking again. Much has occurred in the last two years to change everyone’s life. Our lives changed when our sister Martha died after a brief time of illness. When a loss is unexpected, time becomes one of the only ways to come to grips with the loss.
Dad died last September. We weren’t close. Never had been. States and ages and resentments separated us. In the last twenty years we spoke twice.
Hungry? Get thee to the Food Truck Park at the Pan American Courts at 3301 San Bernardo and enjoy the delicious Asian street food from Katsumi Goya. The brussel sprouts/jicama salad was a homerun as was the fried avocado bun. Still hungry? Try the taquitos and the Lenten fare at El Puesto, the other truck in the park.
