As I wait



My mother is a woman with curly, black hair, light brown skin, clear eyes, wrinkled lips and playful smile.


I remember that when I was six years old, my mother used to wake me up early to go to work with her, so that we could have what we need at home.


When I was twelve, I continued working with her.

I was happy with my sisters. My mother took care of us and gave us the best so we wouldn’t suffer. Later, I became a mother.

Family is everything to me.


But it all ended when I lost my freedom and my children. Nelsito is now seventeen. He has white skin, brown eyes and a small nose. He is very handsome and smart. My other child is twelve years old. Bryan is light-brown skinned, has brown eyes and a small nose too. So cute!


I have an immense sorrow because I’ve been away from them for three years. I only have the memories of the times we played together. My children!


Years before, my mother used to scold me because I did things wrong. I was sad but my happiness was always back when she cooked and gave me sweet caresses. My mother was always taking care of my children, she takes good care of them. I know she won’t leave them. I am in this place, locked up. Away from my family after my biggest mistakes.

But I trust God.


Soon I’m going to be out of here. Now that they are studying they need me more.



Despite all the obstacles that my mother has had, she has overcome them. Nothing has stopped her. She is a smart and brave woman. And my sons are too.


Los amo mucho
