I voted for Trump
And it cost me immensely.
16 years ago, I met a boy. We were in high school. He became my first love, my first boyfriend and the father of my first child.
He was many things but at the top of the list was a superb father. That man would go to the ends of the earth to look for the last pencil if that’s what I told him our daughter needed.
He wasn’t JUST the father of my child. He became my bestest friend. He was my family.
His biggest fault?
He wasn’t legal.
👉🏼 Despite being here before he could even walk……..
👉🏼 Despite not having any criminal record……
👉🏼 Despite making multiple trips to DC (as an adult) to acquire the paperwork to be here the “right way”; papers his mother should have taken the responsibility to get for him when he was just a child…….
👉🏼 Despite hiring immigration lawyers……
The father of my oldest child is being extradited.
My oldest child is loosing her father because of Trumps immigration policies.
Do I feel like I made a mistake? Possibly. Ask me again when I’m not so emotional.
What I do know is it has cost me (and my oldest daughter) GREATLY. I’m in a very dark place right now, reeling from this.
I didn’t post this for sympathy. But yall need to know it’s not just “bad” people with a criminal record being deported. These people are fathers……providers. Head of the household. The enemy wins by destroying the family unit with this policy.
And this is where it’s going to get controversial…..
The past few days as I’ve pleaded, begged, absolutely bawled my eyes out to the Lord to reveal to me the benefit in this, He told me one thing.
“My Hand isn’t in this daughter. When the Heavenlies are at war, there are going to be casualties. This is that.”
And here is where imma give y’all something to argue about.
I don’t believe this immigration policy is in the Will of the Lord. I don’t believe in my heart that this is something Jesus would celebrate were He here.
Now you may wanna say “He is the exception and not the norm Sara.”
But he was everything to me and my daughter. And even though him and I together have overcome generational and family traumas so our child didn’t have to walk through them, the enemy has still won here. That’s not something I’m ever going to celebrate. EVER.
So if you want to come post a comment about how the policies are necessary or “Biblical,” don’t do it on my wall. Seriously…..DONT.
And if you’ve made it this far, please pray for us because my daughter and I are beside ourselves with grief. It’s hard to go through the days 😭
