I am so happy to hear you’ve had a good life here.

We’ve come a long way from that warm October day, 29 years ago. We all still reside in Connecticut (although I did a long term stint in New York and a few years in Detroit). My parents are still working hard, and not in a hurry to retire. They now have 3 granddaughters to spoil. I continue to thank them for taking that risk, almost 30 years ago, picking up their 3 young kids, and without any money or language, moving us to the US. As cliché as it sounds, the land of opportunities has been just that for our family.

I am so happy to hear you’ve had a good life here. I’m only 4 years in as an immigrant in the US but so far I really enjoy life here.
