As landing day gets closer, I still think about what brought us here. Some people have told me that I should just get over it but I don't think I ever will. The United States of America should feel a great shame at what they are doing to their own.
I still remember our last meal-- TGI Friday's in Buffalo, NY. I remember particular so called "friends" in Oregon who promised to help us. Two particular individuals (last names withheld):

-Meraina who promised to pack all of our belongings and then sell to help us when we were in a Toronto shelter and then proceeded to pick out the things she liked and wanted for herself then give the rest away to Goodwill. She did however graciously buy some stuff at very rock bottom prices of course.
-Alex also wanted some particular items and even finally sent a personal check by Fed-Ex only when it arrived he placed a stop payment. Question is why even send it in the first place.
How can one forget something like that? These people knew the desperate situation we were in and took full advantage of it. But the worse shame should be on the USA for not allowing equal rights to all of its citizens and causing the whole situation.
I recently sent in my absentee ballot but I wonder what a possible blue tide will do for me and other citizens like me who are continually being forced to make an impossible choice between love and freedom.
