This weekend, while in Fort Morgan, my nephew Toby came over to mom's house with his wife, Abby along with her sister and sister's husband. They also brought with them Abby's sister's one week old baby. Of course he was adorable and so tiny. His name is Yosuf which is Joseph in English. Yosuf was born in America but his parents are from Kuwait and will be returning home as soon as Yosuf's birth certificate arrives. Abby is also from Kuwait but is now an American citizen. I witnessed her Citizenship Ceremony at the Federal Court House in Denver two years ago. It was very heartening to see so many people from all over the world who were so dedicated and serious about becoming an American. The process is time consuming and requires applicants to learn more about our government than the average American who was born here. Part of the ceremony included the introduction of the prominent Americans who have made a positive impact on our country and also had immigrated here. Yosuf now has choices and may decide to come back to America one day and be another one of our great American citizens.
"Little Joe" and mom.
