This morning Mahlia woke up to find a basket left for her on the front porch , and was totally excited to go see her Aunties and Grandparents today and got all dolled up. The night before she colored eggs with her Uncle Cam and Coco.
Today is also my mothers and twin brother Uncle Larry's birthday, miss you mom. You are always in my thoughts and I know your energy is ever present. It is also Cesar Chavez's birthday and many celebrate and honor him and his works. Cesar Chavez was an American farm worker, labor leader and civil rights activist, who, with Dolores Huerta, co-founded the National Farm Workers Association. My mother and father worked closely with the orange pickers in Riverside (actually picked oranges) and with Cesar Chavez's cause. Much respect and love to all civil rights workers, supporters, and movements!
