Oct 2020

I resigned to the fact that I am their retirement funds many years ago. My parents sacrificed a lot for me. Other than their politics, they are great people. But they foolishly buy into the slogans of the republican party. They left our home country to immigrate to the US where they don't know much English. They wanted me to have a better education and have a better chance of a better future.

This is why I came back to live with them as they need my help due to their language barrier.
