Imagine waking up from a long sleep to hearing your mother say, “you guys will be going to America with your father staying forever”. She said this to my brother, and my two sisters. We were all shocked at once because we never thought about leaving our birth home. I was nine years old at the time. I never remembered my father much, I had a couple memories but not a lot.

That was how we got over leaving her behind, one of the hardest things I ever did in my
