If we stay alone
Alberto González MuñozOne of the great problems that Cubans, like many other nationalities, have had to face is family separation. The development of communications and international transport, as well as the disparity of economic conditions between the first world countries and the rest, have caused many people to leave their countries of origin in search of a better life for themselves and their families. < ! - break -> The saddest thing of all is that not all families manage to emigrate completely. On many occasions, parents see their children or the children of one of their parents emigrate, and a separation begins that does not always end in a happy reunion, since many circumstances prevent it.
I met a Guatemalan mother in New Jersey who longs to be reunited with her four children, whom she has not seen for several years. Her story sensitized my heart because it is the same as many Cuban men and women I know. She sacrifices herself and works hard, but the absence of her children is a heartbreaking experience. When will you be able to hug them? We really don't know. Meanwhile, she provides for her needs and hopes for a miracle from God that will spark the family reunion.
