To her, losing both parents made her paranoid. Her mother didn't know anyone in the U.S so then Elene and her sister became very depressed. She loved her mom so much that she begged her not to leave. She was angry and confused. When she seen her cousins, friends with their parents she became very depressed. She understood that things happen and she knows her dad is in a good place. She became happy and she graduated. Her mom then showed up at her graduation and she said it was emotional and she said that she will never forgive her mother.]]> 2018-09-24 18:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sgatlun308/mzk5oahxpth0/wish/285216540
