Finding Home, Chapter 6; The Year 2002

The Year 2002
The dreams intensified during this year, connecting me to my father, telling me things that would help me recognize him many years later. The importance of who he is was, lost on me at the time I had these dreams because I really did not understand who this man was to the world, only that he was indeed my father. I would also learn many years later why I was someone that could not only be used against him, but who also posed a problem of political intrigue.
My existence would have been difficult to explain in an ordinary world, but given the charged political atmosphere at the time of my birth, I would say that acknowledging me, who my parents were, would have generated significant discomfort, and with political ramifications.
His death happened during a very sensitive time not only in South America but in other countries around the world. The United States was heavily involved in the politics of South America, which my father had given his life to try and change for the better. It would have been a simple thing to use me as a pawn, thus allowing them to manipulate the circumstance we were both living within. The dreams began to tell a story suggesting this possibility.
