It’s almost 5PM and it’s almost 5AM Friday in Manila. My brother, Nikky, has a 10:30 appointment with the US Embassy in Manila for his application to enter the United States. He needs a visa. And like the hundreds of hopefuls that will be lining up at the US Embassy tomorrow, he is pinning his hopes on being given a visa to enter the United States.
I want him here for selfish reasons. I need a baby sitter and I miss him so dearly. Nikky has been such a big part of my life ever since we decided he would become our youngest brother in 1985. I have been sending him to school and he is now a Junior Physical Therapy Major. He has grown up to be a good natured young man and I’m very proud of how he’s turned out.
Just can’t wait to have him here..
