The day dawned normally, there was no warning of anything, my pregnant belly awaited the normal daily caresses, the words for my twins who were about to be born, only two months away from seeing the light of day that awaited them. The year was 1992, around 6:00 a.m. on February 4. There was a loud noise, glass breaking, alarms going off, people running to the first floor without knowing what was happening. In moments of distress, one does not know what to do. I grabbed a bag and put several sheets and clothes in it, and we left in the car for my in-laws' house, where the whole family was gathered.
Then there were several political changes, prisoners, tears, many people who were never found, and streets filled with blood. Since that day, my country has been in constant distress. My twins are 33 years old and my son is 28 years old. They are good people, but despite their hard work at several jobs, they cannot meet their basic needs.
The years continue to pass, some mourning their loved ones, others hoping that everything will change, and many relatives mourning their loved ones who are scattered around the world. Others who know absolutely nothing about their relatives left and never arrived at the place where they were expected. Many of us are still waiting for them to come for us, others who do not know what will happen to their lives. History has taught us that we must take care of our health, since a monthly pension of 130 bolivars does not go very far. To give you an idea, it is less than $1 per month. I will leave the rest to your imagination.
This is part of the story we have lived through, which many defend because they seem not to understand what is really happening, or they don't want to realize it, or they simply refuse to budge. They go hungry and are in need, but they take offense if you say anything to them. They come up with weak arguments, but well, God knows everything, and his divine justice will take care of clarifying everything.
Political victory or catastrophe, I was part of it...
