You are welcome here.
Caring about the fate of the stranger is a Christian value. Did you know that?
I have heard it said we are the uninvited. We are the unwelcome. We should take our misfortune elsewhere. But I hear your mother's voice, over the tide, and she whispers in my ear, “Oh, but if they say, my darling. Even half of what you have. If only they saw. They would say kinder things, surely.”
- Khaled Hosseini, “Sea Prayer” (2018)
They are like my grandparents, looking for a better life. That's why they came here.
