May your voice reach God's ear, Carlos.

It is my hope to one day set foot again upon the soil of a free Cuba; it is my dream to one day, once again, call it my home.

Thanks for making my day and sharing you family story with us. It is truly a great gift to be able to see a land that you could tie so many emotions to. I hope that you will be able to visit and enjoy the family All on one piece of land one day

Thanks to all for the kind hopeful thoughts.

I was at our local supermarket today speaking to the bakery department manager, who is Cuban also. First time I saw her since my return. I was still choked up telling her about this experience.

Some, if not all of you, have recognized something most take for granted. It is so, so tough to see where you were born so close yet you are so far. I can't describe it. It is a void that has no words. I believe humans are like so many of the animals in the world that travel so far to lay their eggs or give birth were they were born themselves. We all have an inherent desire to see our birthplace and see our roots. If you are Cuban or an illegal alien (not limited to that but makes up the majority), that is the only way you can know what it feels like to be deprived of that. Again, very hard to put in words.

Though I cant imagine how you and your wife felt, it was moving to read your post. Thank you for sharing and keeping the hope that someday you will be able to freely visit your homeland.
