My mother-in-law passed from this life at around 9:20 pm on New Year's Eve. I will miss our little broken conversations in "Spanglish". Her English was actually better than my Spanish, but I knew more cusswords in Spanish. Not that she would use that sort of language. But she lived 84 years. How many of us will experience that much life? I'll miss our little trips to Krogers, or to her family doctor, or to Esparanza's restaurant — her, me and Gabie, the three of us.
