Gorbachev returned to Moscow, and the next phase of history in the soon-to-be former Soviet Union clearly belonged to Yeltsin. It was another win for Bush.

He loved his wife and daughters so much — he was the best father and husband I ever knew. He was so devoted to them. Jamie had such a beautiful spirit. Ask anyone who knew him. I’ll never forget his smile. It was such a beautiful, comforting smile. And his laugh. I can close my eyes, picture it, hear it, and he is still here with me.” Stephen Trageser

But what if you’re speaking a different language or aren’t confident in your ability to communicate the severity of a food allergy? When our family traveled to Barcelona and some of the more rural areas of Catalunya in northeastern Spain, my brother thoughtfully made us laminated print-outs that explained our son’s peanut allergy in English, Castilian Spanish and Catalan. At each restaurant, we handed these cards to our server. In most cases, the chef would visit our table and reassure us about the dishes that were safe for him to eat. In all instances, our son was able to enjoy safe foods in a different country — and he was able to bring his love for traditional tapas spanning paprika-dusted octopus and patatas bravas to croquettes and hand-carved jamon back home with him.
