Yola so far
By Eduar | From : Honduras | School : Bloomfield High SchoolThis letter is for you,
grandma Yola.
I love you so much grandmother
and from that day where you took
me to live with you.
I couldn’t live with my step dad Tono.
Because my mom Yolany
went to the United States
so that I and my brothers
Would have a better life.
Then I lived 7 years
with you and had
a great time
because you are
funny and told me things
that are interesting.
Like stories of your life
Always when you
were not in the blue house
of wood
It felt empty.
I also remember
when you smiled
and told me stories
of your youth
like when you
and your enemies fought.
I remember
when you
scolded me.
Because I was in
the street where it is dangerous
for the gangs
you told me, hijo, esta peliogroso
in la calle, son, it is dangerous in
the street.
I do not want anything to
happen to you.
The streets are dangerous
Because the gangs
kill the people
for nothing.
They will think that you are part
of other gangs. Hopefully
one day your mom
will take you to the USA
You say.
And for you too
I think I remember
when I was
on the plane and you
were crying for me.
I hugged you
and kissed you
and told you.
I was going to bring
you for come
to the USA with
all our family,
some day finally grandmother.
I never told you
that when I came on
the plane in the airport.
I cried and
I only had 20 minutes
inside grandmother
I love you so much
so much.
I miss you my grandma.
When you are sick
Or if you, grandmother
are mad or something happens
to you I do not know it
but I know that you
will be well until
I come back
to Honduras.
You are alone
in Honduras
It is so far to the USA.
