My Weekend

This weekend was pretty great! On Wednesday I left really early from Mexico City to Queretaro. A few weeks ago a little girl from the small town I used to live in invited me to her primera comunion (I think it's first communion in English). I was really excited to go and the first few days I was really happy to see everyone again. Then Saturday came, the day of the primera comunion and I couldn't help but to think about my daughter. Exactly one year ago I was with her at another primera comunion and she was still so small. I didn't stay for all of the festivities because it was just too hard, and Sunday was about the same. When I got home I called my daughter right away on Skype and she was so happy that just seeing her beautiful smile gave me so much strength. She started telling me that papi had to go to work to get a lot of money to bring me home. That's when it dawned on me that we haven't even tried to explain the 10 year ban to my daughter. I told her that I went to talk to the mean guys but they wont give me the papers I need to go back. Right away she said wait mom, I'll talk to all the mami's and papi will get a lot of money and talk to the mean guys and you can come home. I told her that I went with papi to talk to them and they told us no, that I can go back but not right now. I tried to explain that hopefully one day I can go home I just can't right now. Then  I began to tell her that the three of us will be living here in Mexico instead. She was confused and said that she likes her house and I need to go home. I told her that I have a house in Mexico and that I want her and papi to come live with me. She stayed quit for a second and said okay mami, I'm moving to Mexico but can I take my toys? I love her innocence and even though she is barley going to turn three, she really makes an effort to understand what's going on. Later that night my hubby 3-way called me and my daughter. The first thing she said was papi, I'm moving to Mexico. She sounded so excited and happy that we would be together again. It reminded me that everything we are going through and all of our struggles are absolutely  worth it because it is all for our daughter and to give her a better future. Now if these next few months could just fly by so that we can be together again, that would be great! Going through all of these things make you really value what's important and what matters. Life is good and God is great! :)
