And if I can even continue my dad's company to keep going and get other people to manage it, I will be continuing to making their name.
It's one thing to take my dad away from me.
It's another to take everything that they worked hard for.
I'd get it if you're talking about a murderer that doesn't belong here and he's just out running on the street or I'd get that.
But if you're okay with separating families because they're just simply immigrants, that's a battle you're dealing within yourself.
If they're hearing my story specifically, I hope they hear that and that they try to picture one of their daughters sitting here and having to talk about one of their parents like this because somebody out there is wishing that on somebody else.
And I just really want them to picture that.

No, like literally no time has passed, but it feels like life spent upside down.
And just hugging my dad and all I could literally do is cry, like cry my literal heart out.
Like everything that I've been holding in, like within these two months, that's exactly how I see.
It just feels like it's going to happen and it's all I think about is,
That's all I can envision, like, over and over again, every single day that I wake up.
