Hello I am new to this website... I really would like to pray that some day my family and I will be reunited. I have not seen my parents and family for almost 14 years now. The last time I saw them was when I was 8 turning 9 years old, and that was in the Philippines when the volcano erupted and we had to evacuate. I was visiting with my sister and her kids at that time. And at some shocking moment of time my brother-in-law who was at that time was in the military and he had told us to grab all of our things and had to evacuate. At the age of 8, thinking in my mind why are we "evacuating" and "why do have to leave?" Well, for me since I was visiting did not have all my things with me so I left and had to evacuate and have been living in the United States for 14 years now. I still have not gone to visit my family for very very long time. I get really emotional thinking about them especially my mother because her and I are very close and being with out her by my side really hurts me and saddens me. I really hope that there is a way for me to see my family again. I do not have the money to go see them yet and so right now I am in college and planning to pursue a career. My goal is to finish and have a good career which I will enjoy and be able to have income for mysef. And after that hope will be able to go see my family. My paperwork is still in progress with the Immigration National Service and cannot leave the United States or else I will not be able to come back in the United States, I mean the paperwork is processing but I heard that, with rumors, that it will be 19 years to actually finish my paperwork to be able to go visit in the Philippines. I really would like to ask a prayer or a miracle of some sort because my family and I really need it. We would really like to see each other. I always pray to the lord and ask him if theres a way for me to see my family. I want to see them because they are so very important to me and in my life. I really miss my mama and papa very much. I have not seen them since I was 8 years old and now I am 22 years old. Can anyone imagine being with out their mom or daughter or grand child for that long? It is really hard for me. I live with my sister and her kids and huband. But I really need to fill my heart because its not yet whole I fell that something is missing. And without my family I am only half. I want to feel complete. Thank you for taking the time to read this and please do pray for me and family to see each other again. Thank you!

Eliza, my heart goes out to you and your family in the long separation period as you grew up. I do pray that you can be reunited. I pray that roadblocks concerning the paperwork and finances can be hurdled. I pray for you in your studies and daily life, as well as for the family members you have close and those in the Philippines.
