My husband I have been together for a long time.  We have three children whom are 1,4 and 7. On March 06,2008 my husband got deported.  ICE came into our home and took him right in front of our kids.  They took him like a piece of trash.  They took my husband away from me.  They took a father away from his children.  How could they be so cruel?  I don’t understand.

I saw my husband February of this year.  It is sad how Mexico has no running water.  It is sad to see people live the way they do. My kids and I enjoyed it because we got to see him but only stayed a month and had to come back.  It was hard.  I pray he gets to come home but I do not know because it has been a year already….. It’s hard raising three kids on my own.
