Love Between Mother and Child

It feels weird to me looking back that I wrote to Chela so often but never even gave her the link to my blog.  I guess it was just a way to let out my feelings without the embarrassment of what my life turned out to be.  It was never the telenovela that I had imagined. I am happy to be home but I plan to leave my life in Seguín as a piece of my past that I don’t share.  No one will understand what it is like to be trapped in a horror movie.  As I watch telenovelas now I am skeptical about the love they portray, that love is made up and I learned that the hard way. I feel that true love lies in the love I feel for Juan Pedrito, the love between mother and child.  

 Love,

Cleofílas
