I arrived at their home , long time ago, and from the very first moment they saw me, they received me with wide open arms and willing to love me without even knowing me. I left after a week, but later on I came back and again I was welcomed. This time I stayed for a little longer, but again I left.
Like a soldier that comes home after losing the war, like someone looking for a refuge, I came back, after losing everything, after the ones I trusted most turn their backs to me. Like the son of the parable who lost everything but his hope, I came back with whatever was left of my hope and one more time I was received with a warm welcome. Most people says that the third one is the last one, and here there was no exception, this time I had came to stay.
And it has been like that since then. They have seen me laugh and rejoice, cry and being afraid of what the next day would bring. . They are witnesses of how step by step I have learned their language.
They loved a stranger...
They sheltered a foreigner...
They dressed the needed one, the gave education to an ignorant, they had patience with my but above all this they gave me love. They made themselves a special place in my heart and since them I take them with my wherever I go. They have been with me at anytime, they saw my progresses and failures. They didn't give from what they had in exceeded, but from the best they had...They loved me just the way I am. They taught me thing I will never forget.
In the I have found a second father that makes always time to spend with me. , from who I have learned that in American there are plenty of ways to have fun.
A second mother who taught me not to give up never, who loves me like a son, and has lots of patient with me and with all the problems and headaches Immigrations has given to her because of me.
Three sisters that care about me, who I love with all my heart and whose picture I always cary with me, to remind me how blessed I am to have someone like them in my life...
What else can someone like me ask? I am not the richest man in the world but I have something that's has no prize: I have them. And from here and want to say thanks for all. Thanks, from the bottom of my soul, thanks!
