I always need to be with my beautiful, strong, intelligent mom. Unfortunately, I'm not given the ability to be with her like most people are/should be since on May 31st, 2001, she got deported to her home country to live there all alone. It's been over six years and four years still remain until she's able to return back to me, my father and four older siblings. I gave up a semester of my high school education to live with her because of the struggles we were going through at home. It was nearly impossible for me to stay there because of the differentiating lifestyles, thus forcing me to come back home. Having my siblings raise me since the age of 11 has been extremely difficult since they were all trying to move on with their own lives, getting married, finishing school, moving, etc. My mom has missed their weddings, birth of her grand children, me graduating from high school and moving on to college, and everything a mother should be looking forward to seeing her children grow up with. It's been extremely difficult living at home with my dad, who is incredible at providing us with everything we need; but he and my oldest brother are the only ones who haven't been able to leave the country to see my mother in over six years [government issues]. With all of this, I am moving with my sister to DC this year since it is so hard for me to be consumed in an environment where I am literally alone and held back from everything. My mom leaving was hard enough and I now have to leave my dad. To be alone. I love visiting my mom, I treasure every millisecond with her, it's always hard to say goodbye, over and over and over; but she has taught me everything I need to know and more, she has grown to be extremely strong and faithful. We have hope in God that things will turn around sooner than later, and if not, that something amazing will come out of this circumstance. Please vote me a 10, it would mean more than the world to me. She's actually the one who first showed me Urban Outfitters when I was 11, right before she had to leave. Ironic, it's my favorite store though! I adore and cherish my family with all my heart and soul. My mom is my number one hero, my heart, my blood. Blood IS thicker than water, as I always tell her since we're miles and miles apart... If you read this far, thank you so much! Leave a private msg on my profile and I will promote you.
