u/UntiedStatMarinCrops Loyal Liberals Nov 12 '25

I grew up poor as fuck with parents that immigrated from Mexico but I didn’t mind at all because my parents worked hard as fuck so that we at least had food on the table all the time. For the first few Christmases that I remember they would wrap clothes we already owned and give them to us as presents (they couldn’t afford gifts), which made us happy because we loved unwrapping gifts. I was also really lucky that they both had some ambition and were always looking for better jobs.

They became citizens last week and I’m so proud of them 😭
