Memoir #1: “WooHoo!!! This sucks. WooHoo!! Pretty good.”
I chose these words because at first life was unbelievably amazing to me as a young child.
Then as I grew into an older child and young adulthood my family life became one of almost unbearbable disfunction. After that I broke away from my family and tossed my previous connections and obligations to the wind. This freed me to enjoy a wild but irresponsible existence.
Now I have basically settled into a great enjoyment of life while still maintaining the “treadmill of responsibilities.”

Memoir #2: “Amazing dedication. Loving but often harsh.”
This refers to my mother Elena Cantu. She always showed unconditional love to her family, friends and even acquaintences. This was true even through several major life tragedies such as her brother dying at the age of 27 and the death of her first infant child.
