<\/p>\n

Kakaunti lang ang mga litrato ko sa buhay ko bago ako dumating sa America. Sa ilang mga punto, mayroon akong larawan ng aking mga kapatid na babae at ako nang bumisita sila sa Honduras pagkatapos ipanganak ang aking unang anak. Pero noong nagsimula akong magtrabaho sa America, may nanakawan sa akin at kinuha ang aking pocketbook kung saan ako nakalagay ng litrato. Ang pagkawalang iyon ay hindi naging hadlang para magkaroon ako ng magandang buhay dito.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bilang isang batang babae na lumaki sa Honduras, lahat ng aking mga kaibigan ay may mga kasintahan. Maraming lalaki ang umibig sa akin, ngunit sinabi ko sa kanila, \u201cPabayaan mo ako. Nag-aaral ako at naglalaro ng basketball at naglalaro sa banda.\u201d Sa huli, pinakasalan ko ang isang lalaking gusto ko, ngunit hindi mahal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Noong 13 anyos ako, pinangarap kong magpakasal sa isang African na lalaki: matangkad, gwapo, matangos ang ilong, na nakasuot ng ginto, champagne, at orange, na may itim na sumbrero. Ang pangarap na ito ay magkakatotoo pagkatapos ng lahat, ngunit hindi hanggang 30 taon mamaya.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nagsisimula talaga ang kuwentong Amerikano ko sa tatay ko, na naglagay ng mga papel para sa ating lahat. Bagama't stepfather ko siya, tinawag ko siyang "tatay" dahil pinalaki niya ako. Siya ay nagtrabaho nang husto para sa atin; walang makapagsasabi sa kanya na hindi kami ang kanyang "tunay" na mga anak. Ako kung sino ako dahil sa kanya, at nangako akong kunin ang kanyang apelyido, Davis. Ang aking ina at mga nakababatang kapatid na babae ay unang lumipat sa Amerika. Umalis sila noong ako ay 18 taong gulang, habang ako ay nanatili sa Honduras kasama ng aking tiyahin. Pagkalipas ng limang taon, sa edad na 24, sumama ako sa kanila ng aking asawang si Leonard. Magkasama, nagkaroon kami ng tatlong anak.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sa aming pamilya, ang bawat unang anak na babae ay pinangalanan Elizabeth. <\/em>Ako si Mery Elizabeth. Ang aking bunso ay pinangalanang Elizabeth Sabrina. Nabuntis ko siya noong naging US citizen ako noong 2001. Ngayon, nag-aaral siya ng forensic science sa Howard University, na may adhikain na maging isang doktor. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ang aking gitnang anak na lalaki, si Robert Lee, ay nakatira sa Florida, at nag-aaral upang maging isang car engineer. Iyon ang palaging pangarap niya. Sinasabi ko sa aking mga anak, "Kailangan mong maging isang tao sa buhay." Matutupad niya ang kanyang pangarap. Ang kanyang anak (aking apo) ay si Robert III\u2014at ang ikatlong henerasyon ng Davis.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Si Edward, ang aking panganay, ay ipinanganak at lumaki sa Honduras. Nakatira siya sa Boston, habang ako ay nakatira sa Chelsea, Massachusetts. Kinailangan kong lumaban para madala ang anak ko sa Amerika. Sumali siya sa Job Corp., na nagsasanay sa mga kabataan sa mga programang bokasyonal at nakatanggap ng degree sa mga medikal na rekord. Nagtatrabaho na siya ngayon sa construction, painting, fixing apartments, at mechanics.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ang aking dating asawa ay bumalik sa Honduras, at ako ay masaya bilang isang solong ina. Pero laging sinasabi sa akin ng mga anak ko, \u201cKailangan mo ng partner, dahil ikakasal tayo balang araw kaya kailangan mong maghanap ng boyfriend.\u201d Si Robert ang naglagay sa akin sa Facebook, kung saan may nag-message sa akin: "Nakita ko ang iyong profile at nagustuhan ko ang iyong ngiti." Kahit na laging binabalaan ako ng nanay ko, \u201cHuwag makipag-usap sa mga estranghero,\u201d nakipagkaibigan ako sa isang lalaki mula sa Nigeria, na nag-aaral noon sa Malaysia. Maya-maya ay nagsimula na kaming mag-usap sa telepono.<\/p>

After 5 years of getting to know each other, we married in 2019. I wore a dress of gold\/champagne because in his culture, the groom and bride wear the same colors. Nang maisuot ko ang aking damit pangkasal, naramdaman kong nabuhay ang aking pangarap. Ang aking asawa ay hindi kailanman kasal. Ang payo ng kanyang ama ay \u201calagaan ang iyong sarili, kumuha ng edukasyon, at pagkatapos ay hanapin ang iyong babae.\u201d Ang kanyang ina ay namatay noong siya ay bata pa, ngunit ang kanyang ama ay 114 taong gulang bago siya pumanaw! Siya ang hari ng kanyang nayon sa Delta State, Nigeria, kaya ang aking asawa ay ang African "prinsipe" ng aking mga pangarap.<\/p>

Apat na taon na ang nakalipas mula nang ikasal kami, at malapit na rin siyang makapunta sa US para makasama ako. Bilang isang mamamayan ng Estados Unidos, nagagawa kong magpetisyon para sa kanya at sa kalaunan ay magiging isang mamamayang Amerikano, tulad ko. Maaga ko pa sanang makasama ang aking asawa, kung hindi dahil sa presidente sa pwesto noong ikasal kami. Sa wakas, magkakasama rin tayo pagkatapos ng maraming taon ng paghihintay. <\/p>
