Soooo many comment to read - so many kind thoughts - #GottaLoveSteemit!
@raj808, good to see you on board. @owasco, @girlbeforemirror, so many familiar names and friendly faces!
Henrry, your luck has to improve, with so many people pulling for you. Your daughter, denied a visit to family in Chile: why, why, why. The politics, the machinations, the power ploys. How do good people keep from turning bitter, cynical, or even violent...
Bless you Henrry and family and all our Steemit friends. :)

@carolkean,
Carol, thank you so much. BTW, good to see you, it's been a while.
It's one thing to have to let them go when they adults, it's quite another when they're not. Henrry lives for his family and I wanted to do whatever I could to lighten his load. Who knows, with a little luck, we may be able to change the fate of a family. Irrespective of the odds, I'm going to try.
Respecting the WHY, it's the oldest story of humanity: Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Chavez and Maduro stripped Venezuela of its checks and balances, politically and economically. The result is a "Utopian Dream" turned "Socialist Nightmare." No one reads history, or if they do, they seem incapable of extrapolating from it lessons. All this was extremely foreseeable.
BTW, I need your help. I left a comment on this post with a poem entitled, "Who Was That ...?" I'm trying to remember the name of a Whale. Maybe you could help. Go have a look.
