Chapter 18 - Chapter 17: In awe

The long never ending walkway it seemed to never end. I pay attention to what people say, trying to catch a glimpse of what was I going to face. I was nervous. Will I be capable of carrying a conversation like all the people walking with us?

It felt like I was in a human herd, snd customs officers were the sheep dogs.

'This way it was real'

I get nervous- is it hello sir'?

We were asked

Where we came from

How many of us - we were a family travelling

My brother looking after my dad

Myself looking after my mom.

My other brother stayed behind.

Later- he goes

I'm not ready

He was married and has a daughter

He stood back for when we get settled down.

Soon it's going to be more than 25 years.

We are still settling down.

More challenges are to come.

A true test to resilience

A true test to our beliefs

A true test of endurance

A true test to a family to stay together
