A letter

To Papá, in El Paso

Hurt

Listen

Pedro is in Beaumont for another fourteen months. He calls on Sundays. He asked me if you were still mad. I said you were not mad, you were tired, and that there is a difference. He went quiet. I think he was crying. Please call him. He is your son. He is also a man trying to come home.
