Ladies and gentlemen, today in the podcast, we

She came back. She came back. First of all, yeah.
She was here, I believe, like two months, three
months ago. Something like that. She came into
our studio, did an awesome interview with us.
We're... just waiting for the outcome on the
on the magazine. It's taking a little bit of
time. So it's it's on the works and the progress.
Right. So we are so excited. But today in our
podcast, we invite Chicano Life magazine in the
podcast. Hello. We got singing of Donis. Mom,
this is Donis. Right next to her right there.
How you doing, ladies? doing good how about yourself
we're doing great how's the weather up in uh
in houston uh we're actually in pasadena oh you're
in pasadena how's the weather really good and
i love the cold so it's getting cooler so i'm
like ah yes perfect Send it down. Yeah, I know
right now in Pasadena's they have actual seasons,
right? Like it's actually getting like cool over
there right now Well, we do have seasons though
in the morning. It's cool around 12 inches hot
That's what I'm talking about That's the good
stuff right there. Wait, wait, wait. What do
you mean? What do you mean hot? Like what do
you mean? Well, yeah, what's the temperature
hot up there? Come on? like 98 degrees No, but
I want to say thank you so much for coming up.
I know we have planned this a while back. We're
going to try to get you on and talk to you a
little bit about the magazine, how it all started,
because I know that we had some crazy questions
that night when you were interviewing us, man.
And we just it turned out to be like a one hour
to a four hour. It was a good interview, though.
I loved it. We gave too much information. The
courts are wanting that information. That's why
we're getting an LLC tomorrow. We don't want
defamation letters coming back to us. But Noah,
tell us a little bit about, first of all, where
you grew up and how you got to start up this
Chicano magazine, how you got involved. Talk
to us a little bit. Okay. Well, I'm actually
from Moxical, Texas. I was born there and then
my parents moved over here when I was... A year
so I was raised in Houston The whole reason why
I actually started the magazine is because we
have so much talent out there that nobody knows
about Yeah, right where there's in Houston or
there. I mean small little towns like the Valley
for instance. Yes, but these yes Elida yeah,
you know this guy an amazing singer Romeo I mean,
there's so much out there that need to be known,
you know? And it's just that there was nowhere
to be found anywhere online. So when I started
the magazine in 2013, believe it or not, there
was about 20 online magazines out there. To this
day, I said it's probably maybe about four, and
I'm one of them. There you go. Wow. There you
go. I think we're doing something good. Yeah,
absolutely. You're still resonating with the
with the with the public. Yeah, exactly. Yes.
And I just think it's time for everybody to know
who who's coming out of Rio Oaks, Texas, or who
came out from Santa Rosa, Texas. You know, absolutely.
You have a lot of talent that needs to be known
and nobody gives them the chance to be heard
or to be seen. Right, right. That's what I'm
doing. That's what I'm trying. I'm trying to
make that platform for any family -owned business,
any artist, any trainer, musician, painter. I
want them to be known. I mean, I might not make
them go up, you know, be popular, but they got
that firm from where they can show off their
talent. Right, right, right. Exactly. Absolutely.
And that's what I've been doing for the last
few years. I see no worth stopping at all. That's
awesome. And I know the website, I've scammed
through it a couple of times and seen most of
the past issues that you guys made. A couple
of them are from the RGB. I saw that. And I think
some of them are from outside north of here that
have been on the magazine also. That's actually
pretty cool. Well, you've covered a lot of Texas
as well. Right. Yes, pretty much. Yes, sir. Any
other Mexican communities or Hispanic communities
reach out to you that maybe want to talk to you
as well, or that you haven't gotten a chance
to? I have one that's actually here in Houston,
and they're LULAC. I don't know if you've heard
of LULAC. And they want to kind of do a little
something. I want to, but at the present moment,
it's kind of hard to do it. because you do have
a little bit of a family thing, but it's gonna
get done. It's not on the back burner, but it's
there. It's there. That's awesome. Starting up,
that's kind of what we started up also. We wanted
to start up something exactly what Chicano Life
had been doing for quite a while as far as helping
out our local musicians, artists, actors, businesses.
We tried inviting them to our podcast and we
try to get them into the door so they can speak,
you know, talk about what they do, where they're
from, you know, not only just see the business
front, but get to know the owner, the person
behind that. I think it's really important for
somebody to, I mean, you can go to any establishment.
go buy a, you go to a collectible store and you
go buy some little Ninja Turtle toys and you
know, you see the owner, you just buy it and
leave. I mean, you don't really know the deep
side of this guy. Maybe he's like a hardcore
collector. He knows so much more than what you
expect. You know, he's a, oh, you just think,
oh, this guy just sells them because he's trying
to make money. It's not all about that. It's
all about, it could be something, it could be
a passion that he likes to do, you know? And
what What you guys are doing for how many years
already? Oh, it's gonna be what 12 years 13 years.
Wow Nice. Wow. That's awesome. We've met so many
people and it's I mean we've had Didi Negron
who is the first first drummer female drummer
for Cirque du Soleil. Oh Wow. She has traveled
the world and she's still traveling the world.
Awesome. Amazing person. Romeo Vaughn. who's
actually from Santa Rosa. Amazing. He's in Nashville.
Chronicle country. He turned his life around.
Now he's Christian. Wow. You might, you guys
might want to reach out to him because he has
a story that you'll be like. Wow. Yeah, we've
known quite a few people from a couple of people
from Santa Rosa that come in and we have a young
wrestler coming in next week. He is from Santa
Rosa and he has a he has a wild background story.
And, you know, it's seen this kid grow up through
the couple of years that we've known him. He's
expanding. Now he wrestles up in San Antonio
and now he has a heel. He holds a championship
title over there. So I'm like, wow, man, it's
it's crazy, man. Nice. Yeah. yeah dreams come
true so yeah that reminds me dude we're gonna
have to hide all the breakable stuff yeah i'm
sure he does really that's uh yeah i'm sure he
does so i mean doing it for the last 12 13 years
like you said uh how is it you come across Like
Chua was saying, do they come to you, they ask
you, or do you research, do you go online now
before then and say, hey man, this guy or these
people would be great, or this person, I like
what they're doing. Hey, she's a great artist,
or he's a great singer, or look at this business.
How do you, how is it that you select these interviewees
into your magazine? Hey, Mr. How can I say this?
I'm a stalker. I stalk them. Now you're talking,
now let's connect. I do a lot of research. I'll
be on TikTok or I'll be on Instagram, Facebook
and I'll start seeing all these like a painter
that's from Houston. I'll follow her and I'll
see what she has or if it's a singer that I really
can show how they feel when they're singing,
I'll start following them. I just stalk people
until I said, okay, you know what? They have
a pretty good following, but then you have that
one, it doesn't have a good following, but you
can feel that they're gonna be somebody. So that's
when I start reaching out and I'm like, not to
be, you know, weird or anything, but I'm the
owner of Chicano Life and I've been following
you, stalking, not start laughing. And they start
talking and we start talking. That's how I start
getting them. I just follow people. I just watch
them, you know, I study them. And if I know they're
doing good and I feel they could do it, fine.
I want them. If you're making noise somewhere
in your community, I want it. I want them. Right.
You want that. You want that on your magazine.
Exactly. That's awesome, man. That's awesome.
And now for mom, seeing your daughter Start up
this magazine when it first starts up water.
I mean were you at first kind of like, okay,
we have it's uh Let's think about this and let's
think of different options. We might want to
go were you were you all in or were you like,
okay, let's Yeah, yes, yes, this is very important
already No one's no one's forgetting the time
I want to forget my dad named the magazine He
was a musician back then, not well -known, but
you know, when the kids get together and... Right,
yeah. Yes. A local legend, pretty much, yeah.
Yes, yes. Yeah. And yeah, we're proud of her.
And not only that, I enjoy going with her. Well,
not anymore. It's been like, what, three years
that I haven't... I don't go with her to do the...
her interviews. Right. But... the majority of
the people that she interviews, we become like
family. There you go. We don't forget about them
and they don't forget about us. So if you have
to have, I don't know how you say it, like to
know, you know each other, you know the deep
inside of each other. Right. A connection. A
real connection. To the point where we know that
the parents, you know. We used to do the Christmas
toy drive. Okay. And back to school supplies.
Right, right, right. Yes, and we still do. We
still do. I miss that. I miss that very much.
Yeah, yeah. She still does, but that was what,
to me, that was important for me and her to do
together. Right. You don't see a mom and a daughter
doing stuff like that. Yeah, I got you, I got
you, I got you. It's a family bonding activity.
Yeah, it's a family bonding experience, yes.
And not only that, I tell her, I always cry.
I'm very... Don't start, Cindy. I can see it.
I can see it coming. Did you see that? Yeah.
Yeah. No, she said, Mom, please do not cry. But
then you know what and I'm gonna I'm sorry to
interrupt there, but that's the beautiful thing
You know when you're when in a situation like
we are right now We're doing this interview mom
sitting next to you daughter's right there It
can be a father and son thing whichever how it
however it is when you're putting those moments
You know on a live Interview, you know, those
are the best emotions because those are the true
emotions. No, it's something that You not only
tell yeah, I mean we're alone when you're alone
with your with your with your parent or your
significant other You talk to them, you know,
that's an intimate moment You're having that
conversation with that person and yes, you break
down and cry you hug each other But when you
get the opportunity as we are talking right now
You're you're you're able to express it does
say that it means even more but you're showing
the people that follow you not only on on social
media, but all your magazine and your magazine,
you're showing them what kind of person you are.
Really what your background, what your bones
are. You know what I mean? And then when you
were talking right now, you could see Cindy right
next to you. She's like, oh, here it comes. But,
you know, that's that's a special moment. You
know, that's that's that's awesome. But go on.
Finish what you were saying. I'm sorry, mom.
That's the way it is. We do that. And I see this
mom. I call it live, what do you call it on TV?
Are we gonna be on TV, Cynthia? We call it Facebook
Live TV. It's all good, we'll take it, we'll
take it. It's all good. It's all good, we'll
take it. It's just amazing. Like you said, I
show my emotions. I don't hide them. I show my,
when I'm hurt. When somebody's hurting, I pray
and I always bring God into our conversations.
Right, right. Because without God, we're nothing.
Yeah, so it's, but yeah, I'm just me. That's
good, that's good. I'm just a crazy me, that's
why they call me Crazy Margie. It's okay. If
we weren't used to crazy moms, you wouldn't even
be... We wouldn't be here. We wouldn't be here
right now. Sorry, mom, if you're watching. No,
but I think that's what resonated with us and
Cindy when we were doing the interview originally,
is that the shared experience that we have from
meeting... Yeah, the all the people that we've
met. It's been amazing. Yeah, it's given us a
greater perspective on the community Yes, and
you know the fact that it's resonated with so
many people outside of the community has just
been a big bonus Yeah, you know as far as we're
concerned. Yeah because because I mean Like we're
talking like this. It's because like yeah, we
we know what you're what you're talking about.
We know what you mean Exactly, you know we have
a say we have the same experience, you know,
we have uh you know family members who are the
same we have moms who are the same you know we
have we have dads who are the same do the same
thing well different side of chancla but yeah
i can't wait to get home Oh, gosh. Oh, but you
wake up two weeks later. What happened? What
happened? No, but. And a lot of the interviews
that we've done, like with Myra, her parents,
I mean, her mom would come. And we met the boxer.
Oh, Nicole. Nicole. We met her father and her
grandfather. there you know it's just it's it's
like like like a family connection yeah right
they'll can you can tell you know the feelings
sometimes you meet a person and there's a something
in there that just doesn't let you connect right
right exactly exactly i just i just tell him
i'm sorry i just you know the truth the vibe
the vibe you got the mamba Yes. Everybody turns
to the family at Taumata and it's an amazing
thing. Yes. We meet so many different people
from different backgrounds and we've experienced
so many different things. When Vanessa Guiana
was missing, we took it hard because she lives,
her parents live maybe 10 minutes away from me,
from here. Wow. When they had to march in downtown
for her. We were just going to go pass by to
see what was going on, but it just gets you that
you're hurting for her parents, for her family.
Let's get off and let's go ahead. And it was
a friendly protest. It was very peaceful. That
was the first time we've done it. The very first
time. Now doing now having the magazine already
in the pocket already where you're doing it for
already a couple of years And I say this because
I've gotten this a lot out. Do you have start
having these hidden Primos? hidden Tia's because
hey I actually had a couple of friends, and they're
like, yeah, I do this. I was like, when did you
start doing this? When did you start doing that?
I've been doing it for years. Tell me what you're
talking about. You remember? I was like, what?
I was like, oh, yeah, I'll get back to you. I'll
schedule something now. It gets kind of crazy,
but it's like, yeah. Well, I had like an artist.
I had an artist who, um. There's a guitar but
actually he's from the valley and he continues
to try to message me and it's like Okay, I mean
I heard what he has to say, you know this and
that right It's the whole kind of like I said
the whole kind of vibe with him was just kind
of like It's kind of off. I'll get with you.
You know, let me get a hold of you, you know,
right? There there's some Interesting ones, right?
And I want to put you in the spot which is Mean
because we can tell you a couple of hours about
you today We told you hours You can you can read
the magazine when it comes up comes out about
the weird ones that we've had in the studio but
I'm pretty sure you had interviews. We were like,
oh my gosh. What did I get myself into? has there
ever been an interview like that or right now
you're like you're counting your blessings there
hasn't been one yet? You know what? I'm counting
my blessings. I have not had one. Good. I have
not had one. You see, we weren't awkward, dude.
We're right in the pocket. You know what, Cindy?
You sound like you're not doing it right. You
need to come back to the line so we can teach
you a couple of things. You come back to the
street, you know, we'll give you a prize for
it. We're gonna do this right. They've all been,
like I said, interesting and I've connected them
very much so. I mean, I had one interview that
was supposed to be for like 30 minutes or into
four hours. And I had you guys, it was amazing.
I didn't want to stop talking. And like I said,
we were talking, we were having a conversation.
And it just, the time just flies. It just flies.
We were, mom, close your ears. We were shooting
the shit. I'm sorry Good good But now I'm yeah
in that conversation that we did have here in
the studio it was and I say it was one of the
most laid -back we haven't had a We've never
been interviewed for a magazine. We've never
been interviewed for a newspaper. I've been on
a couple of live news reports where I'm going
to promote our podcast. I've been on some wanted
posters. Yeah, you've been on a lot of wanted
posters. By the way, pack up. I'm taking you.
I'm going to get the reward. We get half because
we saw. And 10 % for the manager. No, so, but
that interview that we had, that Chu and I had
to experience together with you, it was, it was
like we hadn't talked for years. You know, it
was something like old souls just sitting back
and talking. Old friends. Yeah, pretty much.
It was just, yeah, pretty much catching up. And
it was, it was a very... interesting conversation
and you got a lot of info. I mean, not many people
know about the the behind the scenes story of
on stuff that we didn't invite this certain interview
me back. You got somewhere we've gotten to the
point like, oh, we're in big trouble because
we talked about this, and so on and so forth.
You got you got some you got the dirt. He popped
the record, but yes, I did. He got the dirt.
And you noticed that you didn't even have to
ask. You just showed it up front, didn't you?
You were like, here you go. What? Where are you
going? Warrants? Yeah, we got a lot of those
too. Here you go. But no, I mean, that's awesome,
man. I'm glad. I'm glad your magazine's doing
great. I'm glad that, you know. as far as the
magazine progressing per year, per every year
that you've tossed it out there is going great.
Out of all your issues that you've come out with,
which is the one that actually caught your heart
a little bit more besides ours? It's crazy because
I would have to say there's actually two. Mr.
Romeo Vaughn, like I said, that's from San Rosa,
I'm sorry. We had a good we had a good interview,
but then there was a while back after that He
said hey, he goes. Can you talk for a second?
I'm like, yeah, you know, we're family. What's
going on? So he told me a story his His story
that he was going through but I can't say right
because I haven't got the okay to say it though,
but right this this guy really opened up to me
and told me his downs and he was going down and
his his ups and he was tired of all that stuff.
And I was like, oh, that's like, okay. He goes,
but don't say anything yet. He goes, you're gonna
be the first one to write about it. Like, win,
win. But no, he had a rough stay in Nashville.
Very rough. But that one really got me because
there's been times when he still reaches out
to me and we talk. So that was a good one. I
think for me, the one that got me the most, and
not that we actually interviewed anybody personally,
was the Vanessa Guillan. That was just so heartbreaking
to know that it happened in my backyard. Right.
And then the march and, you know, I went to her
funeral, to the wake, and just to see how everybody
was coming together. Not strangers, just coming
together, holding each other. Right. that I cried.
I cried there. And since she's the one that cried
there. You see? You see? But yeah, and then those
are the two that got me. So Romeo is probably
top. Because the stuff that he shared with me
was just, I was like, wow, Diego, you're stronger
than what you are. And he made it out. He made
out what he was struggling with. I'm very proud
of him. Very proud of him. That's awesome. I
have to say that when the Vanessa Yen thing happened,
it really just showcased how small the world
can be when something like this happens. It really
just hit so close to home for so many people.
It was shocking. I think everyone in the community
felt it. It felt like the shock and the pain
of what happened. It could be our sister, our
prima, my daughter, your daughter. I think it
just hits more. How many of us know? Talking
about her I mean that was horrible, but they
beat her right right exactly Exactly. Yeah and
to see It's it's I hate to say it like this But
this you see the community unite as far as Latinos
when it comes to something like this we unite
so tight It's it's like we become like a human
shield Yes, protect the family to protect our
rights to protect everything, you know It's sad
to the fact that only when bad times happen like
that, we do that. Even when the good times are
going on, we need to unite. It's just something
that boggles my mind. It takes something like
that, something horrible to happen to. Somebody
yes, that's either for a different race or somebody
they all look up to and they unite as one, you
know It's I don't know. It's just it's that's
always boggled my mind, you know seen that Sometimes
we have we want to be kind we want to be but
we have it all inside Because something like
this happens. I mean that's tragedy for everybody,
right? Not just for that family, but for all
of us really You really have to well you have
to have a heart to Feel for the family feels
what actually like Like I said You know, it's
just like, I said, hey, my Cynthia. So I can
imagine what her parents and her sisters would
do. Right, exactly. But yeah, you have to have
a... Compassion, you got to have a lot of compassion.

shifting gears here, mom and daughter team, I
know you said you'd like to go and hang out with
your daughter to go do these drives and everything.
What's the conversation like? Because I know
those long trip conversations, they get a little
crazy because I did see a live video when she
left our podcast. She was talking to her. I think
it was your aunt, right? It was your tia. They
were having a conversation They were laughing
all the way from west ago. Then he stopped to
eat then they came back alive again, and they
were still cracking up What was it? What mom
I'm gonna ask you mom cuz anyone give us the
dirt What is the conversation like after the
events? I mean they go to are the other company.
Did you see that lady? Oh my god What was the
conversation like? Come on, let's hear it, mom.
I'll be honest. I'll be honest. I tell her, I
just love to see the smiles on the little ones
when you give them, especially for Christmas,
right? Because a lot of them, they will not receive
any Christmas presents when you go on drives.
Right. Probably the only presents they get. And
I tell her, and I love it because you see their
faces, their smiling faces, and they're happy.
And you also see the mom and dad. You know, you
can see, I tell her, look at the moms and dads.
They're probably saying, gracias, adios, because
especially they have three or four kids in school.
They don't have, and the schools nowadays are
asking for too much. That's the way I see it.
It's a little bit too much. I did okay when I
was in school. I'm 71. Mom, you look like you're,
you look like you're your fifties, mom. I'll
tell you. No, and I tell her it's I don't want
to get hit by the chef. I'm looking like that.
She tells me, mom, do not say how old I am. OK.
Oh, here we go. She's 52. Hey, there you go.
There you go. Wow. There you go. It's all good.
Mom, I'm right there. I'm almost there, my mom.
I'll get on the top of the mountain next week.
I'll be 50. So don't worry. I'm right behind
you. High five, mom. There you go. There you
go. No. I just love to see their expressions.
And I'm always crying there, too. It's just like,
she says, mom, really? look, what your kids want
for Christmas, you know? Right. Okay, they're
scared, even just what they asked you for at
school at the beginning. Right. When you seek
it, there's other people, they will donate for
them. That's to me, it's like, that's heaven.
I just love it. And even when we went to the
Memorial of Uvalde, Wow And I'm right there with
your mom my wife and I when we saw that that
situation happening it was It was unreal It was
unreal Seeing I was telling my wife ago. I don't
I Honestly, we say honestly, I tell her, you
know, I'm gonna take something honest straight
straightforward You go and a lot of parents will
say that if you don't agree bullcrap You would
say the same thing if that was my kid no matter
what I got in done, you know at that point Yes,
you're thinking it but when you're at the situation,
you're like I need to I need to you know, you
find out what kind of person you really are Yes
at that split second a moment, but to see these
parents in that. Oh my gosh, I can't even Go
over that the relief that that pain is horrible
Okay, yes It's it's it's uh, I Mean like I said
when things like that happen for me and say it
for me I feel like they're my relative son My
god son, whatever right, right it hits you right
in the In the quarter something it just tears
you up. Right, right but That's what I've tried
to teach her right you have to Yes, we're not
millionaires, but you don't have to be a millionaire
to help others Well saying anything any little
thing is enough for somebody that doesn't have
nothing exactly Saying I'm so sorry for what
is happening to you. That's a lot because when
you when you hug somebody you can you can feel
the heartbeat you can feel that they're uh grateful
that you did that right now i hear you and for
someone who's going through something that maybe
no one knows about sometimes just knowing that
someone is willing to listen to them and and
help them they can yeah exactly it's just like
when you're walking out you're at a store or
something to say hey uh good morning or hello
right The little smile that you give, that hello,
that could be the only good thing they'll see
that day. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
I think I would have to say that's probably the
most painful experience that we've had together
was going to Yvonne. Just seeing the crosses
and the flowers and imagining it was... Heartbreaking,
you know, but you had again everybody they're
helping each other people Right now it was right.
It was extremely hot people giving out water
I mean, I'm gonna have to say that on the way
out. I Almost passed out because it was so hot
and I was so Emotionally drink drink bad. I couldn't
imagine I Mean I was standing there were People
were yeah, and it was so heartbreaking. It was
just so much but that was I was they probably
The most painful experience that we've had together
Wow, it was Unbelievable, right? Unimaginable.
That's that's that's crazy. That's crazy, man
but uh, so I mean so those experience I mean
that you've you and your mom have had together.
There's just something that that's kind of like
a something to remember, something that my mom,
you know, mom and I went to this, mom and I went
to that. There's also moments. There's also moments
of something to laugh there where you get some
you get some crazy moments with mom. I know I
have with my mom. One X Cindy I'm gonna put you
in a spot mom. I'm sorry One funny one funny
experience experience with your mom that you'll
never forget I Mean there's there's we like I

moment with this little lady. Never. Oh my god.

Yes, I tell her. She tells me, like, right now,
before we started, Mom, don't cry, Mom. Don't
cry. Don't cry. That's why she got the sunglasses.
Look at me and says, oh, yeah. Yeah. I love to
dance. There you go. So I'm always dancing to
his mom. Really? Yeah. You know, because you
know that when you really love music, it moves
you inside. Exactly. It doesn't matter what type
of music it is. If it's Mexican, rap, anything.
And I'll move to everything. So I'm singing and
singing and dancing to, you know, the type of
music that you dance. I said, mom, really? Do
you know every song? Hello, I am old. Have you
passed by a car? And all you see are hands because
she is kind of small. That's my mom. She's dancing.

your life, like I do. You're good. Oh, that's

let her go. Talk about your days. Talk about
what's up with the new music now. Just let it
go. You get one of those 360 cams and you put
it on top of her head and you just follow her
around all day. Just let her go. Let her signature
the chocolate and throw it to the camera and
then stop the video. That's all you have to do.
It can be a 24 -7 stream. It'll make millions
of dollars. It's gonna be beautiful. You should
you should Cindy, what are you waiting for? So
we're gonna try to give her her own phone now
Over there. There you go. Gee, all day. Whose
mom is that? I know, but I wish she was my mom.

You have to be happy. That's true. That's true.
What are they going to think about you? I don't
care. It's going to make them happy. Like mom
says, you got to live life to the fullest, man.
As much as you can every single day, whether
it's through laughter, tears. I mean, you got
to express every feeling that you can. I mean,

of you guys. That's awesome. Thank you. Thank

you restrain yourself in public. Oh, my gosh.
It's not only with her. When her dad and I would
go to the stores with her, there's some music.
I would pull it, pull it, come on. As you should,
as you should. You know, and he would just look
at me, but he would hold his hand. He would let
me move his arm around and turn him and everything.
But, Jesus, I'm a mess right now, because what
I'm going through with my husband, and not only
that, I'm legally blind. And I just, I broke
an ankle a year and nine months ago and it's
still healing. And I'm the caregiver for my husband
and I tell her, hey, I don't know how, I can't
do it anymore, you know? To me, I tell her mentally
and emotionally drained and physically drained
because it's a 24 seven care. Right. And then
she says, Mom, but you're a warrior, Mom. And
I said, no. Yes, Mom, you're strong. And there's
many times that I tell her, what is it that?
Yeah. And I'll tell her, I don't want to get
up from bed at all today. And then she says,
Mom, you always say that. And it's true. I say
that, but I said, oh, no, I have to go do this.
I have to go do that for him. And I get up. Her
friends told her, where do you get all that?
I mean, you're just a strong little lady. I said,
no, it's not me. I said, I ask my God every single
day, every second of the day to give me the strength
that I need to continue with this. And then I
just lost my little brother four months ago.
Everything is just piling up. I mean she does
everything for me, and I am so grateful from
by going to go buy groceries going to anything
that we need here doing the yard she does the
yard and I'm very grateful for that very very
grateful for that and she's just an only child
There you go, but she's the she's the best you
go there you go I'm sure all of these tribulations
you've been through, it would have been a lot
harder if you were truly alone, if you didn't
have anyone. But thankfully you have your daughter
and you have her love and you have each other's
backs as much as possible. That can get you through
a lot. Yes, it can. As it can. Absolutely. Guys,
