My Latin gardener has "disappeared."

86. My mom's caregiver has left

My mom's beloved caregiver is a US citizen born to parents who arrived legally from Mexico many years ago and became citizens themselves. All were working and thriving and contributing to society. Then the caregiver fell in love with, and married, a Mexican man who was also working and thriving and contributing to society, but did not have his papers. When Dump was elected, they knew they had to go to Mexico before things worsened. Although a citizen, she was forced to choose between her husband and her parents, whom she will likely never see again. The cruelty is absolutely endless and stunning. My mom misses her dearly, because they both hate Dump and it's nice to find someone in Texas who hates him as much as you do and you can talk about it freely.
