Dear Marias del Carmen: Beautifull pictures. I don't have any doubts that what came in the Pedro Pan flights was the best and the brightes of Cuba. You among them!! Best wishes to you.

07/10/09 Carmen te diré que por poquito mi primer e-mail te lo mando a tí; conocí a una muchacha también con tu nombre, pero me dí cuenta que ella tenía Valdivia por su esposo........no creo que haya tenido el chance de conocerte...tú eras de nuestras bebitas......y definitivamente pienso que sufrieron màs que las mayores....si vives en Miami pienso que deberíamos enfatizar en reunirnos un sàbado al mes (esto se hacía anteriormente en el "Versalles")....vernos, compartir,darnos un beso y sentir ese bendito "bond" de Peter Pan. Recibe un abrazo, tu hermana Otmara Capote

Carmen, I appreciate your comments on my story. Your own story, very well written, moved me deeply. The emotions your describe of “la despedida” were so recognizable... I read it as I was trying to cut my story down to a more manageable size, because, as you say, there is much to say and the forum is limited. I decided to include some of the backdrop for our exodus because I thought about how difficult it was for the younger kids to understand why their parents “had to” send them away alone to a strange place, with strangers, to an unknown future. My own brother has told me how he just could not figure it out. I think of our collective stories as pieces of a puzzle which, when complete, I hope, will present a more graspable picture for all of us of how our lives took the turn they took. I think this understanding gains importance as we grow older and have children and grandchildren to whom we want to leave a sense of their heritage. I am taking the liberty of e-mailing to you more of my thoughts about this theme, as it would be too long to include here. I hope it’s OK. Your Pedro Pan sister, yolanda
