We just found out that the cousins in Mexico City are ok. Frightened, but safe. My mom's family immigrated from Belarus in the 1920s. They couldn't immigrate to the United States because of immigration quotas and settled in Mexico City, where my mother was born. She and her parents immigrated to NY but her Aunt and cousins stayed in Mexico. So I have family there.
And my husband's cousin moved to St. Croix, mostly because he was a pothead beach bum.
No judgment. Just hope he's safe. He kinda doesn't have two nickels to rub together.
