Thank you for this tribute to your father and to immigrants. I have been trying to get to this piece since you wrote it. Now is the time when I have stopped to sit on the front porch and listen/watch a storm come in. Glad I finally found a moment.

This is so amazing. I love how you were able to connect this to the current situation about human rights in our country. Also, I love how you said immigrants matter because there people, not just economical assets. So often the argument is that by deporting people we will harm the economy and not about the inherent rights they have just because they’re people.

Lovely piece. I’ve visited the flower fields around Lompoc and Santa Ynez. I didn’t know about the ones in Carlsbad. I’m going to track when they’re in bloom.
