I am 24.
My daughter is 6.
We are from El Salvador.
We took the hardest route.
The trip started with 15 people.
Not everyone made it.
*
We had to cross a river
to get to Mexico.
There was
fear in my heart.
I imagined:
the boat would overturn.
Then
thanks to God
we made it.
All went well.
We arrived in Mexico.
*
We stayed two nights at a ranch.
Filled with fleas.
We had two days with no food.
My daughter asked me for food.
I had none to give her.
I cried so much.
*
I advise people to think
long and hard
before
making this journey.
It is a very difficult trip.
Hard.
Full of suffering.
The easiest part is finding immigration.
