Bresselli is about to finally reunite with her grandma after 18 years
0:06
She was born in Guatemala and lived there for seven years until her grandma sent her to live in the U.S
0:13
I know it was really hard for my grandma to leave me because, like I said, that's my mom
0:18
I grew up with her. And I know my grandma wanted to keep me, but she, you know, like she said, she's like, I wasn't selfish
0:27
I know your mom wanted you. So she took me. I traveled all through Mexico with her to come over here
0:34
And my grandma was the person that came to drop me off. And it was really hard
0:40
So when she became a U.S. citizen, there was only one place and one person on her mind
0:47
That was like my number one guess. The minute I get my papers, I'm going to go to Guatemala
0:53
There was no other country, no other. I wanted to go back to where I was from
0:57
and I really just wanted to go back for my grandma. And no one knew she was going until she got there
1:06
You know, a lot of people, it's hard. They can't go back and see their family
1:10
And I was very blessed to do that because that's all I really wanted
1:15
I didn't really grow up with my mom here, so I just feel like all my family is really over there
1:19
And even though like I just don know like I feel like I was supposed to be over there
1:42
I just felt all these emotions. I felt like I just didn't want to leave her anymore
1:49
Like I just wanted to stay there. Like I miss. Like that's my mom
1:53
I'm like, you know, so it was just, it was a bunch of emotions that I had
1:58
But I was just very happy. I made it after like nine hours of traveling
2:05
But I was, it was, I just wanted to get there. And I just wanted to give her a big hug
2:10
And that's, that's all I've wanted. Like, I just wanted to hug my grandma, like, one more time
2:16
And I wish she was here with me. But now I get to go over there, you know
2:21
I get to go. and I don't know, I just, I still miss her
2:27
I still miss her all the time. But like I said, I'm happy that now I get to really, really go
2:33
And I made it very clear that I'm going to work like every year
2:38
I'm going to try to go every year because I miss 18 years. And I'm not trying to miss anymore
