I came here when I was 3 years old, from Brazil. My parents came over first, my mom when I was 1, my dad when I was 2. They wanted to build a better life for me in the U.S., and they did. They worked really hard to make sure that I could achieve what they weren’t able to achieve back home. I miss my grandparents deeply. My grandfather is the medicine man for his village, and my grandmother talks to spirits. I discovered my psychic abilities only a couple years ago, and going back to see them was the first time I finally felt understood and seen for things that I find nearly impossible to describe to anybody else. I miss them a lot. I wonder all the time how different I, or my life would be, if I was raised with them.
