Ohh … Melancholy
The weather can change the mood of the people, and I’m not
the exception of the rule. I was looking at the rain through the window of my
apartment, and I was thinking on my mom. What is she is doing now? Maybe it is
raining too and she is at bed thinking of me. I can’t even call her and ask her
how she slept last night. I need to wait till next Friday because I used the 10
minutes call for this week. It is only 90 miles from Cuba, but feels like is in
another planet almost impossible to go. Everything changes more that 50 years
ago when one man decided to changes the future of the all country; separating
families and taking roots away. I’m one of those thousands of Cubans that
choose to live in exile away from the family, away from the city, away from the
friends. It's been 10 years since I left, but it hurts like it was yesterday.
Thats gotta be hard on you and yur family. It is an emotional experience to have to live with. Hopefully, you can unit with your family soon. My mother went through the same thing when she left puerto rico and athough it is much closer. The distance did not matter because the were very poor. Eventually, all of them made it here to the States all (11) of her siblings and her parents. Best of luck to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of them, you're not alone. On a raining day, i feel like doing anything special just stay home relax....Light my candle, listen to music. It's hard being here without your family members. But the good thing you visite them sometimes, which is better than nothing.
