A Father's Story Part Fifth

The night was coming and finally we found two men in which I don’t remember very well because we were very weak.  The only thing that I remembered was when the two men took us a car came and the next morning I woke up in a bed next to my wife.  Those men helped us and we spent two days in that home while my wife felt better.  Two days after, those men brought us to the bus station in Texas and I was happy because I was stepping on America land.  We were very thankful to those men but they made part of our guide from Colombia.  My wife and I took a bus and everything was fine but we spent one day and that bus that was very difficult because we didn’t feel good but the really hard part was when the driver moved all of us into a truck.  That was very hard because the people were crying and I felt unable to breathe.  Finally arriving in Stamford the truck left us near the bus station of the downtown and my wife and I were very scared because we felt strange.  We knew nobody, but the only person that I knew was my cousin who was very happy to see me and I felt very emotional because our trip was over.

I was very thankful to God for having me stayed here with my family and my beautiful girl, who is now going to college.   She is studying to be a lawyer and my wife and me are very proud of our girl.  The only thing that we are waiting is the day that we can go back to our country to see again our family and especially our parents.
