Ernesto, father of a family with a dedicated wife who gave everything for him and his children, there were 5 of them, two boys of 16 and 14 and the little one of only two years of age, he was a carpenter and had a small workshop in his house where he took orders, there were good years in which he could give his family everything and make himself a beautiful home for his beautiful Isabel, but things had changed and survival had become worse and worse because the economy had deteriorated abysmally, the materials to work were more and more expensive and at one point they became priceless, was seen more in the way they fed, when before they filled their plates with delicious meals and even now they repeated only half a meal and sometimes they could only feed the children, in their faces was marked the situation they were living, they were no longer fat and rosy now they were thin and emaciated, Isabel to help at home started working as a cleaner in a house and Ernesto felt more and more frustrated, started selling his work machines to be able to feed his family halfway, but that only lasted a couple of months and everything was the same again.

One day while talking to some friends who had invited him to a meeting in one of their houses, they looked a little strange until they told him, "Ernesto we know you are going through a difficult situation, like everyone else but we have found a way to survive all this crap and we think it is fair that you are aware and make a decision about it" said his lifelong friend with a face would be, induced him to continue talking and became more comfortable on the sofa, "Don Matteo is needing people to work with his business, but everything has to be confidential, you can't even tell Isabel, because you would put her in danger" they explained in detail what she had to do and when they told her what she could gain, she opened her eyes like plates, told them what she would think and went home seriously, Isabel waited for him with a worried look on her face and as soon as she entered the door she told him that the little girl looked sick, that she had gone to the doctor and had been sent some medicines and when she went to the pharmacy she had been frightened by the prices, he was only under her face and this was a sign of what she had nothing else to think about.

He had to feed his family and have money at home to test his little princess Lucia and pay for his medicines. The following week he went with his friends to Don Matteo's farm, where they gave him the necessary papers to travel and how it was planned that it was a delivery and work of his carpentry branch should not be a problem, when he arrived at the airport he gave his ticket and passport was a little nervous but tried not to be noticed, everything went smoothly and went smoothly, the problem arose when they arrived at the dorado when they scanned the luggage and detected a suspicious content so they removed it and proceeded to call its owner, an airport security officer went to where Ernesto was and asked him to accompany him, the sweat and nervousness betrayed him, he couldn't take it any further and just ran off without knowing where, it didn't take long to capture and handcuff him, they took him to the inspection room and informed him of his suspicious luggage, "Sir, before we proceed to do the examination we ask you to be honest so that the sentence will not be so severe for your cooperation", said an officer looking at him seriously and with a firm tone, Ernesto could not contain his tears and confessed everything, it turns out that in the pots where he was supposed to carry the glue for his work there was a white powder, he was also examined and the officer only said, "positive for cocaine", his rights were read to him and he was transferred to the penitentiary to be tried, Ernesto would be sentenced to 15 to 20 years in prison, outside his borders, far from his family and leaving a whole burden on his wife, who would never forgive him for that terrible decision.

We know that there are moments in life that can be extremely difficult to overcome, moments of crisis, storms and labyrinths with no apparent way out, however, it is there when it is demonstrated what we are really made of and to what point can make us reach despair, it is when you ask us why I did not stop to think about another option, because I did not think about it better, what happened to me? We can't judge anyone by their decisions and everyone is responsible for them and must assume the consequences, always exhaust all your options and when they run out try again.
