#ThrowbackThursday – My Family in the U.S.

My family was separated before we could all come together in the United States. Castro had kept my grandparents and my sister and me in Cuba and so my brother and parents were in the U.S. before we could join them. Even after we were able to leave Cuba, it took many months before my grandparents and my sister and me were able to legally enter the country. This photo is a snapshot of my parents and brother in the U.S. before we were reunited.
