An El Salvadorian woman speaks on the challenges of being raised in a country where women don’t have the rights that they do in America. After years of her mother telling her what a wonderful place America is for freedom her parents finally send her to America with one request, never forget where you came from. As she speaks of the connection she aspires for her children to have with her homeland she shares the challenges of keeping the connection with so much distance. The greatest hurdle to overcome is getting her American husband to understand the importance of their children knowing about both sides of them, even if one isn’t as pretty as the other. The story is touching on different levels of the family dynamic and also the idea that the most important thing about family, is family.
