Teri, thank you for sharing this beautifully written WOMN story. Loving fiercely, giving a shit. We are all humans. Loving, seeking connection. You illustrated this perfectly. How sad that so many don’t see this.
More and more people are seeing this kind of deep love in the world. It is sad that such horrid things had to happen for us to access this kind of depth of love, but it is growing.
I’ve driven in the kinds of storms that Brianna drove through to get food to Alejandro in this story. It’s intense. And, driving like that requires a deep purpose of love to get through it.
I want to say something because this story touched me, but I'm almost speechless. Brianna and Vox's love and determination to feed Alejandro and his family is heart warming. I've driven in MN white outs and it is NOT for the weak. But then to have him captured a month later broke my heart. I am so disappointed in my fellow Americans who are facilitating these crimes against humanity. I'm with Vox, "why would you come back here?". I am very proud of the Minnesotans loving and caring for their neighbors and do love you all fiercely. I can't understand how anyone can work for ICE or the government officials pushing this agenda. This is too much for my soul. Thank you
KC - thank you for reading and making this comment. As a writer, it is such a sacred experience to learn how my writing impacts the readers…and in this case, your experience is exactly what I had anticipated and hoped. This story was first and foremost about the LOVE of Brianna and Vox to go to the lengths that they did. Secondly, I wanted to show what it is really like to drive in a Minnesots white-out blizzard. Third, I want to emphasize what this has done to how we feel about our country. Vox is right, why would he want to come back here? but then again, when Alejandro has people like Vox and Brianna loving him the way they do…that explains why he wants to be here.
Thank you wonderful.
