The Trail of Tears

by Tim Tingle Alejandro

I remember Mother.

I remember once when I was a little baby lying on my back in bed. This is my first memory. Mother leaned over me and her long hair fell on my face. I grabbed it and pulled hard. My fingers were strong. She blew on my face to make me stop. I jumped and I almost cried. I must have looked really funny with my mouth wide open and my eyes big in surprise. I didn’t know she could do that.

Then something in her eyes let me know she was making a joke with me. Nobody had ever done that before. She smiled and I giggled. Then we both giggled. I pulled on her hair and she blew in my face again. Over and over we played this funny game.

Then a shadow fell across us. My mother looked up. It was my father. I was afraid of him. He was strong and I was afraid of him. It was years before I would realize that his strength was there to protect us.
