Remembrance

I cross the finished line and I placed my knee on the ground and remembered her words.

Hello, Hercules. I want to say how wonderful it is to see you this evening, you are like a breath of fresh air in the field of roses. You sure are growing up to be the finest and humble human. I am very proud of you and you being here tonight reminded me so much of myself, not physically but spiritually. You are living what I felt when I carried you and know already that you will be and carry out. That is the uniqueness about you and I know this. I thank you so much for being such a good brother and role model to your sister for she does need that in her life and even if it is short and you may not be around much here but what you do I cannot express in words, just know that I feel it and am so thankful. I hope that you have a good night and you get the rest that you need to catch up from your driving. I love you, Hercules and do not ever forget that and how proud I am of you.

Love, Madre
