Story I Wrote

Crossing the border, putting herself in danger, just to give us a better life. Leaving memories, loved once, 16 years of her life behind, just to give us a better life. Not being able to go out the country with out her, because she might not be able to come back with me. Driving pass an immigration car without her panicking. She's not able to hold a good job, she worries about bills, but still gives us what we want. She doesn't have enough money to buy groceries, has to go to the food bank to feed us. And yet we'll always see her with a smile on her face. At least she tries, because deep down inside she's hurting. She misses the rest of the family haven't seen them in years. The holidays is when she gets the saddest, she missed her father's funeral. All this just to give us a better life. But is it really a better life, hearing her cries at night but when it comes to the day time her faking her happiness, just to give us a better life, Am I selfish? No, lets just say I'm a lucky girl, to have a wonderful mom that gave up a lot, everything, her life, just to give her children a better life. No one else would do the same, not even the love of your life. That is what you call Amor de madre, Mother love.
