I leave you now with these words of a song sung by the legendary Cuban singer Celia Cruz, that reach the bottom of my heart.
In one of the last songs that Celia Cruz recorded “Por Si Acaso No Regreso,” whose title translates to “Just In Case I Don't Come Back.” Celia Cruz tells the story about the sorrow of dying far from where she was born on October 21, 1925, and lived the first and most tender years of her life.
When Celia Cruz fled from Cuba to México with the band “La Sonora Matancera” in 1960, and then subsequently went to live a life of exile in the United States leaving her family and friends, and her loved ones behind.
Celia Cruz said that she would return at any moment, as the end of her life approaches, she realizes that she would never return to her home in the humble and diverse working class neighborhood of Santos Suárez in Havana, Cuba.
