I think of Columbia, where a friend of mine is from. She tells me of the wars that go on down there, and makes me realize how glad I am to have never been born in such a place. That is why she is here, now. She was afraid that she would be raped and killed by one of those crazy men in the jungles, which was a few miles from her home. She came to the US for refuge.
Another friend of mine os from Nicaragua. He was a military weapons specialist, but when they lost the war to whoever was attacking them, he had to leave his family and live here to escaope being put to death by the group that now control his country. His son grew up, fatherless, then moved to Winston-Salem, to find his father after so many years. It was a very emotional reunion.
