My dad quit school and left Mexico when he was 15. He came over to ‘MURICA illegally and arrived in Chicago. He got a job as a garbage man, met my mom, almost got deported, and they got married. He actually did get deported 30 years later but that’s a whole other story. Wondermundo reminds her younger selves that things are okay now and we’re resilient AF.
