Cinco de Mayo, an annual celebration
held on May 5. The date is observed
to commemorate the Mexican Army's
victory over the French Empire at the
Battle of Puebla, May 5, 1862, under
leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.

I've written about this in years past.
I have so many things to celebrate;
sooooo love me my celebrations!
I get as excited as a school kid!
Obviously, there's the historical
significance alluded to above.
But for me, Cinco de Mayo is far
more personally sacred than any
political holiday. I honor May 5th
lo these 40 plus years and so do
NOT wish to change nary a thing
in this personal history.
My daughter, my namesake, my
mother's namesake, mother of
my grandsons . . . ever a queen
in my very existence. So, what
does she bring to the door of my
heart?
I believe the word I'm looking
for is connection . . . that etherial
connection within our heritage.
That tie that binds from the great
grands, to the grands, to the parents
to the children, to the grandchildren.
The embodiment of strength, passion,
honesty, pride in her work, a friend,
ever upholding her belief system . . .
my shero. Happy birthday, sweetheart!
Pray she live long upon the land . . .
Deuteronomy 5:16
