They all work in the public sector, while I’m the black sheep of the family as a reporter. A year of devastating frost followed by another year of drought destroyed consecutive harvests for my grandfather and forced him to move his family to the United States in the 1960s, when Mami was 9. His declining health meant she had to drop out of middle school in Anaheim to pick strawberries. She dealt with the alcoholism and gambling of my father in their early years of marriage, and his machismo until the day she passed. Edward Caballero started the Eddie’s Taco House legacy with a small idea and a huge will to succeed.

My mother’s grave is within eyesight of a big statue of the Santo Niño de Atocha, an apparition of the infant Jesus omnipresent in the lives of people from the state of Zacatecas, where she was born. Many from that diaspora are buried in Holy Sepulcher, including both of my maternal grandparents, family friends and cousins — and, one day, myself. So I recite the Lord’s Prayer and a Hail Mary for all of us, then pull up YouTube on my smartphone to play a mariachi version of “Lara’s Theme,” the song Mami requested we play at her funeral.

The trumpet in “Lara’s Theme” turns wary about halfway in, but I get a small smile thinking about what I put my mami through. As an infant, I would push her away when she tried to hold me and yell, “Ash! I talked too much in elementary school and never had good grades through high school. My family laid her to rest five years ago today, in a ceremony I remember like it happened yesterday.

Founder of Eddie’s Taco House legacy Eddie started with a small idea and a large will to succeed. With the support of his family in 1976, he opened Eddie’s TacHouse in the corner of a warehouse located at 1615 N. Laredo St. Today we continue to follow his fream by of-fering quality food and good service at an affordable price. Never fully fluent in English, Mami nevertheless took us to the library as much as she could. When she realized that pulling us from school to spend weeks in Mexico affected our learning, Mami flatly told my dad that those vacations wouldn’t happen again. Her example of facing a cruel world with grit and grace influenced my three siblings and me to succeed in life — or them, at least.
