We have been very lucky in my big, fat, Cuban family. We always seem to equalize when we lose someone. What I mean by that is that when there has been divorce or death, it is inevitably followed by a wedding or a birth.

I was contemplating this while in the midst of the preparations for my brother-in-law’s memorial.
It was then that I receive a text from my nephew, Michael, who lives in South Miami Beach.
I’m engaged.
CONGRATULATIONS.
Her name is Kimberly.
BEAUTIFUL.
She fits right in. You’ll love her.
CAN’T WAIT.
She’s Cuban.
PERFECT!!
He sent the following picture:
Michael’s in love.
With a Cuban girl.
And is getting married. (which means we get to go to a wedding in Miami sometime soon, but that’s not important right now.)
How adorable is this??
Congratulations, Michael and Kimberly!
Kimberly Verdés. It has a nice ring to it, I think.
(Speaking of rings. . . pictures, please!! =D)
Welcome, Kimberly to our big, fat, Cuban family.
I’m sure you’ll fit right in. If Michael loves you, I’m sure we will too. 😉
Felicidades Michael & Kimberly!Kimberly, I can’t wait to meet you!
besos from your (soon to be) prima,
Amy 🙂
Congratulations to Michael. And-You’re coming to Miami!!!! YAY!!!
Hi!!Love your site. I’m Cuban. I live in NC. I moved here two years ago from Miami. Last weekend my husband and kids and I attended a NC Cuban Culture Meetup. It was tremenda fiesta en el medio de gringo nation.
Love all the CDs you are currently listening to. I used to program the Cuban radio station for online radio site, maybe you have heard of them, Batanga.com.
Anyway, just stopped by to say hi. I love your writing. Mucha suerte!!
de otra cubanita,
