I’ve rewritten this essay at least twice now. It’s been months since I wrote the first draft and as I finish this final draft, Hispanic History Month has begun. I didn’t mean to begin this project on the holiday. I wanted to start it much earlier this year but after getting vaccinated — and as the pandemic appeared to abate this summer and now once again seems perpetual — other interests took precedence and summer days were left with less time to think and write and more time to spend with people I’d missed seeing in person.
