It has been so long without Mama, Papa, and Abuelita. I go to sleep thinking, what if something bad were to happen to me?Mama is in the hospital,Papa is dead, and Abuelita is stuck in mexico! i might have enough money to bring Abuelita home, but how will she get it if Tio Marco and Tio Luis are watching her mail? I need help. is this really just a dream, or is it worse? Oh, i do need everything to be normal. I want my life back!!!

sincerely, Esperanza Ortega
