I am from chocolate milk in the mornings from breakfast tacos and the sound of moms keys and her voice dreaming down the hallway “Let’s go we are late!”

I am from the big opened windows covered in curtains the smell of bath and body works candles throughout the house I am from the muddy kitchen after practice, and the big oak tree by my old house

I am from thanksgiving dinner and a big family from 11 aunts and uncles and 23 cousins I am from traveling all around the world and eating dinner with the family and from a homemade dinner freshly made everyday

I am from “How was school today?” and “What do you wanna be when you grow up?” and the Goodnight Moon story every night I am from decorating the Christmas tree every Christmas with shiny ornaments and twinkling lights

I am from Austin Texas and family immigrating to Ellis Island from Natalia running down the long hill when we told her not to and then breaking her fragile arm in our old washed away neighbor hood
