You will be with me
It was Sunday when my mother decided to visit me. Coming with her were tragic and frustrating news. She never thought that lend the boy would cause her so much pain‌ and a problem.
She never thought that they
wouldn’t want to give him back.
How would I react? – That was my mother’s fear. When she told me… I don’t know… I felt like the
world was over. Like if I was in shock for a whole century. But I reacted fast and said to myself: this is not
happening.
And I, without being able to do a single thing,
away from freedom. A new of that magnitude would bring me insane.
I presume that my mother had a big war in her thoughts: “Do I tell her?
What if I don´t?� But that day she summed up her courage and asked
God for strength and company in those difficult times.

I asked God for strength too and said to my mother that life moves forward and a day, not so far away, we would have him back with us again.
I knew that, one day, someone would want to take my boy, but I never imagined that it would be so soon.
As time went by,
my mother visited me more often.
But, with her, no other new of the boy came along. And time passed. I had lost all hopes of seeing my son again.

Time has come. It was time for them to go. My mother, with her kind words, said to me: “Don’t feel bad. You’ll soon be with him.”
Since that day, my days are happier because
I now have a reason to keep fighting.
You’ll soon be with me and we´ll never be apart, my son.
