Thank you, Abuelo, for giving me my Spanish heritage and my first experience of the language, as you talked with my Panamanian cousin, Kissi, on the hill overlooking the lake, where your German wife (my strong grandmother) kept a 10-acre farm that still infuses my dreams.
And thank you, Will, for bringing me back to Spanish—and for listening to my newbie broken speech, with a vision for eventual wholeness.
