To our parents, Al Macasaet, Maria Macasaet, who is no longer with us, Jose Ramirez, and Nora Ramirez, for your unconditional love, listening ears, and endless support.
Thanks to Al, Tita Benni, Ninang Daisy, and Uncle Fred, for visiting us in Laredo for our two families to meet. Ninang Daisy and Uncle Fred, a special thanks for the wonderful idea of getting together. I hope you all enjoyed the Tex-Mex food!
