Abuela, Don't Forget Me

In a world where chaos and uncertainty often define a childhood, Rex Ogle found his anchor in Abuela. This memoir-in-verse is a lyrical tribute to the woman whose unwavering love and steadfast support provided a vital haven from a youth marked by hardship and dysfunction. Through warm hugs, Spanish lessons, and countless trips to the library, Abuela built a foundation of hope and belief that allowed Rex to navigate a challenging path. As Abuela now faces the fading grip of dementia, this collection of poems becomes a poignant testament to the enduring power of their bond, meticulously preserving cherished memories and expressing profound gratitude. It is a story of finding home in a person, of the transformative impact of unconditional acceptance, and of holding onto the essence of someone who believed in you even when you couldn't believe in yourself.
