Papa who wakes up tired in the dark
You abuelito（1） is dead, Papa says early one morning in my room. Esta muerto（2） , and then as if he just heard the news himself, crumples like a coat and cries, my brave Papa cries. I have never seen my Papa cry and don't know what to do.
I know he will have to go away, that he will take a plane to Mexico, all the uncles and aunts will be there, and they will have a black-and-white photo taken in front of the tomb with flowers shaped like spears in a white vase because this is how they send the dead away in that country.
And I think if my own Papa died what would I do. I hold my Papa in my arms. I hold and hold and hold him.
你爺爺去世了。有天清晨很早的時(shí)候，爸爸到我房里來說。他不在了（1），說完，他好像自己才聽到這個(gè)消息一樣，人像件外套一樣皺縮起來，哭了。我勇敢的爸爸哭了。我從來沒看過爸爸哭，不知道該怎么辦。
我知道他要走了，他會(huì)坐飛機(jī)去墨西哥，所以的叔叔嬸嬸都會(huì)去那里。他們會(huì)拍上一張黑白照片，在擺個(gè)白色花瓶的墓地邊，花瓶里插著長(zhǎng)矛狀的花束。在那個(gè)國(guó)家李，人們就那樣送別死者。
我想要是我自己的爸爸死去了我會(huì)做什么。于是我把爸爸抱在懷里，我要抱啊抱啊抱住他。
