One specific moment I remember is when I was 7 my dad got deported and one of the last things I was told by both my parents was that I was the man of the household. I had to be strong for my siblings and my mom. Luckily this helped me overcome the crying and has made me the person I am today. Obviously I do get sad but I have found different ways to convey that emotion.
