humansofny “I was eleven years old at the time. A new law passed allowing members of the same household to migrate to America. So we all went together—my aunts, uncles, cousins, and great-grandmother. Only my mother stayed behind. She had just remarried, and couldn’t leave my newborn brother. At the airport she was inconsolable, but she knew it was for the best. We left Havana in the middle of a twelve-hour power outage. And when we landed in Miami, there was a sea of lights in every direction. It was clear why my mother had wanted me to go. In Miami our entire family moved into a two-bedroom house. That first night I shared the pull-out sofa with my great-grandmother Mami. Little did I know that we’d be sharing that couch for several years. Mami was a tough lady. She had to be, because she grew up in Cuba during the thirties. She snored like a growling cat. And she never asked about my feelings. But if she felt me crying on the other side of the bed, she’d roll over and put her hand on my shoulder.

Those first few years were tough. I went straight to middle school. I couldn’t speak English. Every night I’d call my mother back in Cuba, and we’d both cry on the phone. During this time Mami became my best friend. She taught me how to shave. I’d tell her about my crushes. And she’d always tell me that one day I’d be wearing a suit. Mami had worked in a factory since the age of twelve. So that was success to her—wearing a suit. No matter how close we got, she was always careful to remind me of how hard it was for my mother. One night we were watching one of her soap operas, and the story made her emotional. She turned to me and said: ‘You’re my son.’ Then she paused, and said: ‘Never forget the sacrifice your mother has made.’ Mami died three years ago. But she lived to see me graduate high school. And community college. And she was still alive when I got my first job. It was a job at a bank, and I wore a suit. It was a cheap suit from JCPenney, but it was a suit. On my first day I took a picture and sent it to Mami. Then I called her, and she was crying on the phone. It took her awhile to speak. But the first thing she said was: ‘I know how proud your mother is right now.’”

POTENTIAL MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS VACCINE MIGHT YET BE DEVELOPED

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

i feel like fucking dancing

think of the possibilities -- if treatment for this autoimmune disease is now an injection away from resolution or at least mitigation and sufferers won't have to suppress their immune systems and be potentially subjected to immunological complications related to their incapacity to fight off infection, think of the possibilities for other autoimmine diseases! hell, other neurodegenerative diseases!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES FINALLY SOMETHING GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD
