Mama said it was best that Jose and I move to Californa, she would come too. Our papa lived here to support us in Mexico. Mama couldn't wait to come to see papa, but she started getting sick again. The doctor said she'd be fine and so did the boss man, but they were all wrong. Jose is only a month old and so still cries at night and mama usually takes care of him... but she didn't last night. When I woke up to wake her... she was dead now Jose and I must go to live with papa and I'm scared! Jose and I have to leave towmorrow... without mama or her body but I know her sprit'll be with us. But atleast Jose and I still have papa! I haven't seen him since before mama told me she was having Jose!
