A family is supposed to be together but this family is different because this is based on a true story

Angelica, Hannan and I, 3 was left by our  parents when Angelica was 7, Hannan was 6, and when I was 2.  We have been separated for 7 years.Our parents, went to abroad and worked as housekeeper for the same family for the last 7 years.

All those years we only talked and see our parents through Skype.  Our parents never miss a day without talking to us.  My mother never missed to ask about our studies, homework and almost everything.  Even though our parents are so far away from us they tried their best to have time with each other even if it is only on Skype.   We feel their presence even they are away because we always have to talk to them.

We wanted to be together, so our parents sent us for interview. So, we have been praying and praying so hard and God is so good that he heard our prayers and we were given a visa.  Last May 2012 was our first time to see them both in person.

We traveled together with our grandmother for 23 hours by plane.  It was the longest travel we ever had.

Our grandma told us that was a long flight but Angelica told us this is it the day we’ll be meeting our parents, so we walk through the exit and the 3 of us smile to our parents when the door was open our parents we’re running to us crying and after that we go outside from the airport and take our very first family picture after 7 years.  It was the most memorable time in our lives.

New York was our entry and we were so excited to see the busy streets and lots of people around.   From there we drove straight all the way to Boston.   When we arrived in Boston we ate our dinner, a never ending talking with our parents and afterwards we  slept for we are so tired.  We woke in the morning so happy and all of us cannot stop believing that we are in already in the U.S.A with our parents.

And our parents friends and our families back home who knew about it,  they too are all so happy for us.

And that was the time that we will never ever forget the day that we were together as one again.

Thank you for reading my story. 🙂
