I had a great childhood. We got to travel around the world and see things that 99% of kids haven't seen before and
00:00:07
travel country to country and met some amazing people. Got to do the most enjoyable things and live a really fun,
00:00:15
exciting, adventurous life. The cool thing about moving different countries is you really have to meet you're you're
00:00:22
all in the same boat. No friends, you've got no family. Yep. We got to see the coolest things ever. Having a mother
00:00:27
that always wants to go outside, explore new things, go camping, go diving, um go
00:00:33
like fishing or surfing or anything like that. She was as good as any mother in the world could be. I would say she's
00:00:39
just fun and you know she's very talkative. She's very I mean she's almost therapeutic in a way because if
00:00:46
you hadn't a problem anyone, she'd you know they'd come and talk to her. She'd give great advice and she'd listen and
00:00:52
she's just very, you know, selfless in in the sense of um making other people happy. I realized my mother's name
00:00:59
wasn't her name because um I always looked up on Google trying to find her or trying to find things about her and I
00:01:06
was always suspicious and then I would find absolutely nothing about her. So, I knew that it was a different name. I
00:01:12
assumed that she did something wrong. Um, I'm not I was never sure what it was, but I knew it wouldn't have been
00:01:19
like bad as in she would have hurt someone or anything like that. I knew that would never happen, but I really
00:01:24
had no idea that it involved my sister or anything like that. There was this one day I remember I think my brother
00:01:30
asked her why he didn't know our grandmother and you can just tell. I mean, when she talked about America, she
00:01:37
loved it. But there was something there that you know and it's not it's not for me to sit there and go well get sadder
00:01:44
and tell me more and and tell me why and I deserve to know cuz I didn't you know
00:01:48
I trusted that when she wanted to tell me she let me know and you know if it was 10 years I don't I don't care. I
00:01:55
mean at the end of the day it is her life that she had to leave and she left it for a reason. I learned that the FBI
00:02:02
was after my mother. It was a pretty big shock to learn that. If she had told me
00:02:08
any earlier than when I'd found out, I wouldn't have been able to handle it, you know, because then I would go do a
00:02:14
research and then I would probably get I'd be the one to get her arrested by researching so much or tipping off. I
00:02:20
you know, I it's just it's it was dangerous and she was doing the right thing. I was pretty impressed by it all.
00:02:26
It's kind of like what you see in the movies. I've seen a movie really similar to how the whole setup was done with her
00:02:31
escaping and all that and it was Yeah, I like to hear the story a lot.
