On February 2001, my dad left Argentina with the hopes of building a new life, full of benefits, better quality, in United Stated.
The rest of us, mom, brothers, and myself, left in june 2001. Life here, in Miami has been a roller coaster. Work has been hard, meeting new people and making freinds a challenge, learning the way a country functions even a greater challenge. But nothing has brought us, the Naparstek family down.
As every immigrant, we also has a story share when it comes to the "immigrations papers". Fourteens years ago becoming a US citizen was a dream, was a light at the end of the tunnel that we were not even able to see, imagine, or think off.
We took little, even tiny steps. Everyday was a challenge, everyday was a mistery, everyday was unique, but we knew we wanted to be here, we knew that together life is better, and we were hopeful that things were going to happen, and ONE DAY all pieces of the puzzle will come together.
That day came. It was April 2. After 14 years all of 5 of us are American Citizens. Who would have thought?
Grandparents (3 out of 4) were Polish, my parents and us were Argentinean, and just like that one day we are American. 3 generations, 3 nationalities. Who would have said!
To honor dad, his work, his efforts, and his vision we made him his favorite dessert: Sambayon
