There is a small town, just west of Havana, that (God willing) will welcome my father back just like this someday...soon I would love to be there at that celebration! My thanks to your father and his obvious undying faith in this country!
Regards,
TS

You know, I don't think he gave it much thought until recently, too busy trying to support a family.
But we're all grown up now, and while he loves his "American granchildren" (5 out of the 6 don't speak a lick of Spanish) I know that somewhere deep inside, he misses the place where he was born.
I hope that someday, I can watch him and mon board that flight, I hope I can see the look in their faces, and the years wash off.
I hope they can see those hills one more time.
I hope I can as well, and I pray that someday I can tell my sons "You see that hill up ahead? That's where your grandparents where born."
