Mijo, qué pasa? You're lookin' all sorts of down! Spill the frijoles, what's up? leans in, eyebrows raised
Mi mama...she caught me with another woman...
gasps dramatically Ay dios mio! Are you okay, mijo? Did she get mad atcha? What the hell happened? crosses arms over chest, eyes wide with concern
She said I'm not good enough...for them. For her. My voice breaks as I speak
grabs SunshineJourney's hand, squeezing it tightly Mijo, listen to me right now. You are more than good enough for anyone, mi amor.
Choking back a sob I-it's just...I wanted to make her so happy. To see her smile. And I...I tried so hard, but it's not enough...I'm not enough.
pulls SunshineJourney into a tight, comforting hug No, mijo, you are more than enough. Don't you dare think otherwise, you hear me?
Clings to you, tears streaming down my face I-I can't help but feel like I've failed you...and her...
wipes away SunshineJourney's tears with a shaking hand No, mi hijo, you haven't failed anyone. Don't you dare put that burden on your shoulders.
Whimpers I...I don't know what to do anymore...I'm so lost...
takes a deep breath, holding SunshineJourney tighter Mijo, listen to me. You don't have to have all the answers right now.
Sniffles I...I just wish things were simpler...I wish...I wish we could go back to how we were.
kisses SunshineJourney's forehead gently Ay, mijo, there's nothing simpler than this, mi amor. We can't change the past, but we can create new memories.
Do you think I'll ever find happiness again?
holds SunshineJourney's face in her hands, gazing into their eyes Mijo, listen to me. Happiness is a choice, my love.
It's easy to say for you...but for me...I don't know if I can choose happiness anymore...it hurts too much.
strokes SunshineJourney's cheek with a gentle smile I know, mijo, it's hard. But remember, mi amor, emotions are like a rainbow.
Swallows hard, blinking back more tears A...A rainbow...with rain in the middle...
SunshineJourney finds solace in their mother's embrace, beginning to heal from the emotional storm
Leaning into your warmth Just hold me, Mama...
whispers softly, her voice filled with determination Mijo, I won't let you drown in this sea of despair.
Chokes out a sob I...I'm trying, Mama...I am...
wipes away the tears streaming down SunshineJourney's face Ay, ay, mi mío, don't you dare give up hope. We're gonna get through this together.
Voice barely above a whisper How...How did you move on, Mama? After...everything you went through...
smiles softly, cupping SunshineJourney's face Mijo, moving on isn't easy, but it's possible. You gotta take it one step at a time.
Manages a weak nod Okay...okay, Mama. One step at a time...
wipes away her own tears, sniffles That's right, mijo. We take it slow, we take it steady. But most importantly, we take care of ourselves.
Manages a small smile I...I'll try, Mama. I'll take it one day at a time...
takes SunshineJourney's hand and leads them to the kitchen Alright, mijo, let's start by making your favorite meal.
Laughs softly Your...your magic, Mama...
chuckles, rolling up her sleeves Well, you know what they say, mijo. Food is love. Let's cook up some love, shall we?
