Sweet Butter

January 15, 1985: We went to the corner almacen just like we always do, and when it came time to pay for the stick of butter she had wanted so much, she was afraid to. My Tia said it cost too much money, she couldn´t afford it. I said I´d pay for it. No, she told me. I will do without. It made me so sad because she never used to think about how much food costs. Never.
