I Didn’t Realize I Was Translating My Parents’ Lives Until I Got to College
The first document I ever translated wasn’t homework. It was a letter from a government office, printed in dense English that made my parents’ shoulders tense the moment they opened it. I was thirteen, sitting at the kitchen table with a dictionary app open, trying to sound confident while silently panicking over words I had never seen before. I didn’t know what “eligibility,” “deductible,” or “termination” really meant—but I knew that getting them wrong could change everything.

Product of Lies
Product of Lies My earliest recollection of a lie was at the age of five. It was the Christmas holiday week, and my mom and dad were have an annual Christmas party for friends that included a couple children. The night was a fantasy, like the Nutcracker Suite without dancing. Our house length sunroom, which I always called the ball room was fully decked out in silver and gold garland, hung from each of the recessed lights in the entire room, which made the light refracting off of the tinsel, shimmer and flicker throughout. There was beautifully delicious food laid out and beverages for the kids and the adults. I was going to be a long evening of magical socializing in holiday vignettes.

The quiet sound of families breaking. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
There is a kind of silence that is louder than any noise. It is the silence of a child waking in the night and realizing their parent is gone. It is the silence of a kitchen table with one chair suddenly empty. It is the silence of a home that still looks the same, but no longer feels the same. Across the United States, thousands of families live inside that silence. Not because of war. Not because of disaster. Not because of death. But because of policy.
