How migration affect my family

 How migration affect my family

Today I would like to talk about what migration is and how it affected my family, I know it is a very talked-about topic but it is almost never known how people felt this process in their own flesh and how it affected that person's family, I remember when I was little my family had to leave the country and we had to go to the city to live, I remember that not all my family came with us, most of my family stayed in the countryside but my mother, my father, my sister, me, my aunt and my cousins had to leave the country. 
I remember that I did not understand the reasons and it hurt me a lot to leave my family behind especially my grandparents, my parents had to work too much so I almost did not spend much time with them, my aunt and my cousins had to leave the country, I remember that I did not understand the reasons and it hurt me a lot to leave my family behind especially my grandparents, my parents had to work too much so I hardly spent time with them, when I was little I used to spend with my cousins and my grandparents, but in the city, I spent most of the time alone because my sister had to go to college and my cousins the same, my aunt got a job that took her all day so most of the time I did not spend at home, I remember when we lived in the country we all had lunch together and we used to watch a movie and my grandfather loved horror movies since we moved to the city we almost never used to go back to the country, sometime after we moved to the city my grandmother passed away.

My grandfather used to cry a lot and asked us to come back but that was not an option, we did not have the resources to be able to return, a few weeks went by when we went back to see my grandfather we sat down to talk and he told me how the family suffered when we left the country, I remember he told me that my grandmother was worried every day because she didn't know if we had had lunch or not, my cousins didn't go out to play as often as we used to, for all of us it was an extremely big change when we lived in the city we had to limit many things, It was a very drastic change, my grandfather told me that things in the countryside were still bad so after my grandmother's death we decided to stay and live in the city permanently since the situation improved for us so we decided to help my family in the countryside so they could live better. Finally, after all this experience I would like to tell everyone that this experience is very difficult for many people, we do not know well what each person feels and what are the reasons why they had to go through this.
