What would have become of me had we stayed in Guatemala? No one paid too much attention to my education. There was the possibility of Mom andDad breaking up for her romance got torrid. Alejandro had a simple job at the local paper and years later ended in jail. Dorita was the only one who paid attention to me but even she was closer to Jerry. Something had to happen if I were to become something better than a store clerk. Dorita died of typhoid. Jerry and I were ordered not to ever forget our sister. Her favorite record, Ramona, was broken so that we could never hear it again. The grief that beheld our household sparked the return to the States. Dorita's death gave birth to a new life for me.
