He probably thought I was upset too and I was mad, how could there be so much work put into that it just vanishes it dies. My back is getting bad again I don't want to tell anybody cause I know Francisco and mama would worry about me to much. Fransisco is just like me he worries a lot i know this because he's been working for hours after school so we wont fall back in debt. I feel bad for my family i feel that I am the man of the house so why do my children have to work or pick fields, only I should be doing that because im the man thats why i get mad sometimes cause i worry to much and i get caught up in all this mess.
