Into the Country of Standing Men
by Rey Ventura

From Into the Country of Standing Men

“We all dream of a better future and of a better relationship. We all dream of a better family and of a better life. But how do we go about realizing these dreams? Is the degree of our dreams directly proportional to the degree of sacrifice required to achieve them? When physical separation from the husband, and separation from an only child is demanded of us, is it still worth pursuing that dream? Is not the nearness of a husband, the nearness of a son, the nearness of our family, the nearness of loved ones – a most wonderful dream? Is this not enough?”
                                      - Letter of Rey to Nena
                                        (Chap. 10 : Leaves to Leaves)
