Letters from the Old Domini
Stop the refugees, see that They are Vetted ??
My first love was this
wonderful woman. Oh, I didn’t know what love was. I was only a little child,
maybe just a toddler. The most joyous words I would hear my parents say, ”we’re
going over to Grandmother’s house. Love, eh, all I knew I was greeted, hugged,
kissed (ekk), spoiled (I did not know what that meant either, but so enjoyed
it.) was fed and so many wonderful things. I was eleven years old when she
died. I experienced my first broken heart. I was so sad I wept for days until
finally my Dad told me to be quiet. I quietly still weep in my heart.
I later learned that
this beautiful human being came to Ellis Island as young sixteen year old
Orphan, alone, frightened and unsure of what the future held for her.
The thought of this frightened wonderful, Caroline ( That was her name)
would be met by imposing, uniformed, gun carrying authorities to be VETTED,
to make sure she was not a terrorist, sends such horror chills up my spine.
Remember the Emigrants
that came in groups? There were English, Welsh, Irish, Germans, Italians, Oh
yeah, the Italians, have you seen the latest episode of the “Godfather?” There
were some Mafia who came with these beautiful people. Let’s stop them,
make sure they are vetted. What a tragedy that would have been. Stop our
wonderful, charismatic, musical, loving, talented (I love their Pasta)
neighbors. That too sends chills up my spine.
We have now another
opportunity to welcome a group of protective parents, beautiful children, persons with many
artistic, professional productive skills, hard-working, responsible, caring,
loving people into our world. “Let 10,000 of them come, indeed.” Don’t miss the
opportunity to welcome as many that will come.
