We lived in Mexico City , in a two-story house I inherited from my mother.
Together we ran the industrial supply company my father left me when he died.
On paper, I was always the owner.
In practice… for years, Fernando acted as if everything belonged to him.
When he accepted a maintenance contract at several wind farms in northern Mexico, he told me it would be for a few months.
It turned into three years of back and forth. Increasingly cold calls. Increasingly automated excuses.
—I can’t go down this month.
—There’s a lot of work.
—I’ll make it up to you when I get back.
I stayed here. Paying salaries in Mexican pesos.
Taking care of his mother during her illness.
Maintaining the house. Reviewing invoices. Enduring silences.
