My Mexican mom was very traditional, our family was very tight knit, and I am so grateful for my upbringing. She had trouble letting us go as we grew up. To this day I find myself being very much like her. I used to joke about how she seemed like a smother mother. She always kept a short leash on all 4 of us and was loving and protective.

I think if he would have lived we'd had a kid like you. I'd be honored. P.S he hated being compred to Jay and Gloria but then when I showed him some clips he was like 'yep we are😂'. Love your vids.

You clearly lack listening skills. She said her family USED to own the company. They sold it with the stipulation that the name stayed the same. Many commenters did the research and discovered that it was sold by the Saia family in 1987; clearly well before she was born.

Saia is a huge company, that’s crazy if your dad founded it

saia is a wonderful name! in my country, we have the word “saya”, and it directly translates to “fun”, “joy”, or my personal favorite, “lighthearted delight” i think it suits your beautiful character perfectly! :)

Thats funny that you mentioned this because an ex of mine (who I dated many years ago as a teenager) is half colombian and half american. His dad was also 20 years older than his mom, and for the record, she persued him lol!!! She serenaded him a few words of an english love song (adorable) literally before he was about to leave to go back to the US since he was stationed in colombia at the time. And the rest is history.(Sadly they both have passed away, may they both rest in peace).

[@rapidretrovenue563]

Was waiting for her to say something like the white side of her family is very old and therefore very prejudiced/racist, so to find out they're actually just peacefully at rest now is a fantastic alternative. Go, Dad, Go.

[@BigPatFenis_]

I love how your first assumption of white people is that they're all racist and you probably typed that out thinking "I'm so funny and original and I'm such a good person." Meanwhile you're making racist remarks about people you don't even know. As a white person, you need to get out more. You have no idea what most white people are like.

[@lydiaboll2872]
