Virtually five years that I haven\u2019t seen parents, family and friends outside listening or watching them on a monitor from time to time. What it does is that I want to touch, grab their faces so much. Make sure that they\u2019re real for real. Did this shit actually happen? Adopted by white people and shit? It\u2019s so weird now. It\u2019s hard.<\/p>\n
Things are not going so well over there. Family disputes, conflicts that I don\u2019t get. It\u2019s whatever. My parents describe the sad state of the little neighborhood that I grew up in. There was many stores. You could buy vegetables, pencils, tools, toys, salami, horse meat, fabric, potato salad. A thriving boulangerie where people would line up on Sundays for one of the best baguette on earth, I\u2019m not kidding. The boulangerie hold the fort for a while other businesses where disappearing but now it\u2019s basically gone. All that is left open every day is a drug store, a pizza joint used as a front to sell cannabis and a bar tabac<\/em> which sells cigarettes and alcohol. I told my parents on Skype thinking about Alfred in Atlanta, \u201chey, drugs are lucrative\u201d. They nodded like they hadn\u2019t made the connection between what was sold on that corner of one of my hometowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Virtually five years that I haven\u2019t seen parents, family and friends outside listening or watching them on a monitor from time to time.
