This sounds more hopeful than what I heard last Friday.

A Maryville woman who is trying to bring her widowed Japanese daughter-in-law and infant grandson to the United States urged U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions today to stop holding up a bill that would allow her family to be reunited.

Robin Ferschke met with the Alabama Republican for about an hour in his office in Mobile and made a personal plea for him to let the legislation go forward.

“He said he does believe it should happen, that we need to make this right,” Ferschke said. “He also said some of the wording is too open in this bill, and he’s going to talk to his legislators and see what can be done.”

Ferschke said the senator said he hopes to resolve the problems with the bill in December.

“I told him if, God forbid, anybody else says no, I’ll be on their doorstep, too,” she said.- Knoxville News Sentinel

Hotaru is very fortunate to have a hard fighting mother-in-law. I’m one of Robin Ferschke’s facebook friends and we’ve never met, but she sounds like an incredible woman.

I implore Senator Sessions to do the right thing in the matter of Hotaru Ferschke. Her Marine husband died over two years ago for his country. It is long overdue for this country to take care of his widow.
