While in mexico I visited my dad who I rarely get to see. The last time I saw him was eight years ago, when I was seven, I am now 15. Throughout the years while I was in the U.S and he was in Mexico he would send my brother and I money to compensate for not being there. When I visited him during my stay in Mexico he gave us ten grand in Mexican PESOS each for a gift which I gave to my mom where she transferred it to USD for me. To me, this gift shows me even while across the border he would still try to do his best for us to live our lives to the fullest.
