Trying To Get My Family Together

Trying To Get My Family Together

My husband lives in Dallas.

My son is in El Salvador.

            He is a U.S. citizen.

Immigration forced him back to El Salvador.

            My husband is here.

            He is a U.S. citizen.

Our daughter made the trip with me.

            She is 2-1/2 years old.

We walked.

            It took 22 days.

We walked at night for safety.

            Three hours.

We took a bus part of the way.

            And also a taxi.

But mostly we walked.

Our son is stuck in El Salvador.

            He is 7 years old.

He is depressed.

            So much waiting.

            Too long.

We are trying to get the paperwork in order.

Then we will bring our son here.

            So we can be together as a family.
