I am a first-generation American, son of two immigrants. My parents came as youngsters to the U.S. as exiles due to fear of what the future would hold in Cuba after Fidel Castro's revolution.
Their beloved country, Cuba, seemed to be so toxic that the only option would be to uproot to a foreign land. What contemplations went through my grandparents' mind? What fears did they harbor but not convey to their children? I never met my grandparents, so I didn't have the opportunity to ask them.
I believe that their decision to leave Cuba was based on the most powerful emotion of all: love — love for their children at all cost. I arrive at this conclusion because that's the type of household I was raised in, one in which the love my parents conveyed to my brother and me was a love that is everlasting and always made us secure.
Now I am a parent, and I reflect on what it would be like to leave your roots behind and venture to a land where the language is unknown, relationships aren't established, and everything is undetermined. I have the perspective now as a husband and father, and many times, I have contemplated and reflected on the magnitude of the decision my grandparents were faced with. How dire must the situation have been to send their sons and daughters to a place hoping for a better future? Yes, today we know the results, so for me to judge the decision is easy.
