Not about Money

This was never about money.

Money can help, but this was about...

taking people for granted and ... forgetting debts that cannot be repaid.

I don't know, maybe I am too eastern. Somehow.

Never mind I don't speak Chinese/ Cantonese.

Respect for elders, to me is still paramount.

I should .... she took me to montesouri every day for a year. To Common Entrance lessons.

Rearranged her schedule... because mommy asked. Mom didn't drive.

She put up money, without interest when my parents did not have the fees for university for my sister and brother.

So excuse me, if I think Ms and Mr big shots in foreign can't give a rats ass about the little old lady with the leaky roof and the cracked tile bathroom.

She's my mommy's sister. And she forgets now that mommy is dead.

It's a little freaky.

The last living sister in Trinidad.

She .... she is all I have left...

I'm scared. Always scared.

When I lose her... how do I define myself.

First (Spanglish) ... I am my mother's daughter.

Now ... I am my aunt's niece.

What do I become without aunt?
