Two years ago, she took a big step into a different life.
She moved in with her father. Because he promised her and her brother that they would move to another country together. A better life. No school. No problems.
Then the mother didn’t hear anything for a while. Not again until Christmas. She came to fetch a few things from her room. And from her brother’s room.
Then everything happened very quickly. They packed boxes and wanted to carry them to the post office. But they were very heavy and big, so they asked their mother for help.
A few weeks later, they said goodbye at the airport. The mother took one last photo. It shows her with a discreet but hopeful smile.
There was no sign of life for the mother for a few months. Until an online meeting. The image transmission didn’t work. It remained black for the mother. She only heard the voices.
That was a year ago.
