Now, in the weeks that followed my parents' return to Mexico, when it became clear that they wouldn't be able to come back, I had to watch as my eight-year-old brother was pulled out of school to be with his family.
Poco después de que mis padres volvieran a México, cuando era evidente que no podrían volver, vi como sacaban del colegio a mi hermano de ocho años para mandarlo a vivir con su familia.
