I absolutely loved reading this, I think you captured perfectly the essence of Mamacita and summarized it succinctly and elegantly! You should really pursue this talent, please keep writing, keep interpreting for us with your sharp intellect and your big heart! I loved particularly the part about mamacita not fitting the preconception of the grandmother as "old, caring and accommodating", and also the part about how she wore her vanity proudly to her last day, perhaps the strongest line was that she wasn't up for coddling women but to forge them. Thanks for sharing.
