It Would Have Been Enough
Each Day Is a New Struggle
Rabbi Emily Howard Meyer
Each day is a new struggle:
• We don’ t know the language. My children are in school, but they say the teacher wants to speak with me.
• Work is hard to come by. I do not have papers.
• How can I feed my family? I make so little.
• Rain, wind, snow, hail. All penetrates our roof.
• There was an accident. Do I go to the hospital?
• Each night I wake up in fear and sadness. Our journey was hard. We left our family. We are alone.
• People are angry at us. We are trying to live. Why do they hate us?
• The media says that people are after us. Should we even leave home for work, for school, or to get food?
• My friend was deported. Who will be next?
• There is no help. There is no hope.
