Here is a letter my client Levis just wrote to her 6 yr old son Samir, whom she has not seen or comm with in over 2 weeks. They told her he was being taken for a “bath” & would be brought right back. He is a gentle boy and very attached to his mother. She is terrified. #Basta

In the thread that follows, I will post a translation of my client Levis’s letter. It is one story among thousands.

“To: Samir The love of my life.
From: your mom. The love of your life.
Hello my love how are you? I hope you are doing well, just want to tell you that everything is ok, I am sorry my son about everything that is going on, this separation hurts my soul…”

“but I want you to know that I am not abandoning you, son your mom is here and I think about you a lot, when I wake up the first thing I think about are your eyes and I also feel your hugs every morning and I feel your kisses my son…”

“I miss you deeply Samir, I want you to know that very soon we will be together again and I will hug you. I love you!!! I want to tell you face to face that I am proud of you, you are my purpose…”

“do not worry my son, I am doing well…I know you are suffering because you love me. Very soon we will be singing the song we sing and we will be together praying to God…”

“I do not have any more words to express how much I love you, I wish you could feel how it feels in my heart, I feel someone took a piece from my heart…”

“My love know that this is temporary. You will see that very soon you will be giving me kisses, I love how you used to tell me mom you are the love of my life, I am so proud to have you as my son…”

“To hear you say that I am a warrior fills me with courage to keep fighting every day.
I talk about you every day with my friends and I tell them that you are the sweetest boy that I’ve known…”

“I talk about your eyes and what a beautiful boy you are…I talked to your little brother and he asked a lot about you, he wants to see you, he says, please tell Samir how much I love him, Luzita also asks about you…”

“my mom told me that your dog Lola already has given birth to 3 puppies, they are going to be big when we return…”

“When we are released from here I’m going to take you to the aquarium like I promised you, I know that you have always asked me to take you to see animals, dolphins, fishes and penguins, even though you say that you are scared they may eat you hahaha…”

“I am also going to buy the spider-man toys I promised you. Very very soon we will be together you will see. The God we pray to will take us to be together. You are my prince, my warrior, the love of my life, my heart, my reason for being…”

“and very soon we will be saying this together: Who is the love of your life? And you will say, you mom!!! Then I will tell you, Who is the love of your life? And I will say, You!!!...”

“I LOVE YOU, kisses, I love you with all my soul. Kisses on your forehead, kisses on the cheeks, kisses my little love. I will see you very soon my son of my heart, you are a star guiding my life. (here is the little bus that I always draw for you)…”

“Sincerely,
Your mom, your warrior”
