A Mother’s Day tribute to an immigrant mom
|
EL PASO —When someone is asked, “ What do you think about your mother? ” the immediate answer is “my mother is the best.”
But could one really describe a mother with all her attributes and her flaws? Personally I describe my mother as brave, with a bold attitude someone who has worked non-stop for her family and her community. Veronica Macias, 46, a single mother has sustained her children alone, and without an education for 26 years. Born and raised in Ciudad Juarez, and the youngest of 11 children she immigrated to El Paso in July, 1973.
