An encounter I want to share
I would like to share this with you
I was in Marco Island last week with my family for a week of relaxation. My husband and I were at the beach and a man (Americano) Stopped to ask us a question about the island. We got to talking and he told us he's from Hartford, Connecticut and Cuban by marriage. When we asked him how he met his Cuba wife in Hartford, he told us she was a Pedro Pan who has lived in Hartford since 1962.
Immediately I told him I am also a Pedro Pan and that I would love to meet his wife. He is was very personable, told us he loves Cubans and that we all have a "story to tell". About an hour later he came back with his wife, Teresa. Teresa and I hugged, kissed and shared our experiences. It was very emotional; here we were, two women who had never met but with a very strong common bond. The connections,the ties,the emotions,that binds all Pedro Panes is very powerful and unique. It makes me proud!
