Anna immigrated to the United States from China. She is now forty 49 years old and has been in the country for approximately 25 years.
If I was in China, I wouldn’t have what I have. But is there anything I regret? Lots of things. I left my husband and two baby children in China to come here and make a future. […] You know, my heart was in the right place, but… I just… didn’t get to be a good wife and mother. I missed out on the first 12 years of my children’s lives. I missed out on everything that I was supposed to be there for. […] I missed them so much… I missed them. But I couldn’t go back to see them because I never had the time off from work. I… I owe them. I’ll always be sorry for that.”
