I Am Sorry I Could Not Be There

Abstract

After finding out that many friends and family members in Mexico were getting sick, impotence took over my body. I found comfort in talking to them over the phone. Seeing their faces illuminated my heart; however, the fear of losing them stays there.

I miss my family, I miss my friends, I miss my life.
