Sins of our Fathers

"I heard you arrived."
"Yes Aunt. I got here a month ago."
"When are you coming to visit me?"
"School is starting next week, I'm a little tied up right now. Give me two weeks and I'll be in Rio Lindo."
"The Manzanarez have a habit of forgetting their family. You are not like them are you? I figured you guys were completely gone from the face of the earth."
"No ma'am, I'm certainly different. I'm the one calling aren't I?"
"That's right."

That was in August. It's now November, and I still had not made it to Rio Lindo to see Aunt Elsa. Maybe that's why I almost bit my tongue back then.
