Mi linda Argentina

I've learned tonight of some additionally wonderful Argentinian traits. I'm so in love with that culture. I can see why they are a little snobby. They think themselves better than a grand majority of South Americans and most especially Mexicans. Their economy is stable. They don't have a desperate need for jobs or to leave violence behind as in Mexico.  I mean sure it has its problems. It's classism and economic divide, but it also has a beauty and inclusiveness.  Granted this is all a superficial knowledge of that country. 

It saddens me though that because of the huge demand for the premium beef they eat, ( kind their culinary culture seems to be based around), they are now feeding their livestock GMO food and growth hormones. It saddens me that it will take them 20 years to realize the spike in cancer will have occurred and who knows how long if ever to attribute it to the above two reasons. 

So sad. So very sad. 

My heart walking around outside my body

Parenting is hard

There is a never a time when you can say

My job is over

From here on out: smooth sailing

Never

Because I imagine

That their trials and tribulations

Are always also partly yours

No matter what their age

Not because you directly bear any cause to them (one hopes)

But because you deeply care that they are suffering them

It's like that for me now 

And I just don't ever foresee that being different. 

It's like I tell them

Even one day when you're carrying me around, or pushing me around in a stroller (wheelchair; knock on wood)

You'll still be my babies
