The media made a boogeyman out of them. I could not get it as a child. I later heard about their children being dissappeared under custody. Now I can relate to them better after all that I've been through. The media that made a boogeyman out of them does the same thing to us now. Its so painful to be marginalized. We who have been marginalized must stand together. It is very heavy. It is very heavy to wait for him. For me, for my children, for my husband's mother..We don't have a plan. We live by the minute, hour, day.."
