This Woman Deserves a Party…

February 16, 2012 By Marta Darby 24 Comments

My mom will be 98(!) next week. This means it's time to plan a party.

Luza invitation

For obvious reasons it won't be a surprise party. 😉

I'd love to share your birthday greetings with her. Please leave a comment on this post in English or Spanish. I know Luza will be thrilled to hear from you.

    Luza!!!Cuantas felicidades le deseo en su dia! Me encanta leer los cuentos de Marta. Yo creo que usted ha sido adoptada por nuestra comunidad de Cubanas como un pedacito de Cuba nuestra y es como si fuera nuestra Mama tambien.
    Que Dios la bendige y siga disfrutando de la vida por muchos anos mas!

    Luza, felicidades desde Toronto, no es todos los dias que uno puede felicitar a alguien que cumpla 98 años, cuanto yo quisiera llegar a esa edad aunque vea y no vea, oiga y no oiga, huela y no huela, como decia mi abuela que murio de 86, otra frase de ella fabulosa era cuando miraba las novelitas de la television: “asi es mi vida, esperando emocionada cada dia el proximo capitulo de mi novela, hasta que llegue el ultimo…” Besos prolongados

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! ☘️ Today I’m O’C Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! ☘️
Today I’m O’Cuban. But my mom used to say I was “sinvergüenza.”
It tracks. 🙄Sláinte! 🍻😉#belikemarta 🖖🏼😎
My family left Cuba in early 1961.My brother was My family left Cuba in early 1961.My brother was on the first Pedro Pan flight in December of 1960. Happily, my family was only separated for a few very tense months. But we were part of the lucky few who managed to leave the country rather quickly.Once reunited, my father vowed we’d never be separated again and so when my older sisters were to be married in California, he packed up the family and we never looked back.We lived in Miami for the first 3 years of our exile, before my parents moved us across the country, and so we made our lives in Southern California.As Cubans in California – “en el exilio del exilio” – we managed to find other Cuban families and connected with the familiar community of people who spoke our language and recognized our customs and our food.I’ve told the story of my family’s exile many times using whatever words the Lord sees fit to give my feeble brain.Tonight, I’m a white haired 70 year old grandmother (call me Wella😉) living in Southern California with the family my husband and I have created.My parents passed away years ago. (And I unabashedly miss them daily💔).What’s happening tonight (on the island that saw me born) is that the people have taken to the streets armed with nothing but pots and pans and have been banging them for 12 hours as of this writing, calling for “Libertad!”Who could believe we would actually see this day?
Who can sleep when freedom is so close you can taste it?Praying for the brave people of Cuba. May liberation come quickly! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Also, I’m shining up my own pots and pans. It’s almost time.
There are just no words for this moment.
This is OUR Berlin Wall moment and the cracks are already stating to show.#patriayvida

Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Mart Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Marta? 🌎 👀I’ve been so super obviously absent from all my socials, let alone my blog itself.
For a while there, I was overwhelmed by the once easy task of documenting my day-to-day life.Everywhere I looked, people moved on to high production video and I was hopelessly lost, so I put writing on the shelf and happily got caught up on all the seasons I’ve missed from the Great British Baking Show.But then, as I often say, “life is in session,” and my life was accumulating entire chapters before I could even type, “Oh, the Cubanity!”Which brings us to today. I’m starting to dip my toe back into writing online. Mostly, I miss the writing and telling about my extraordinarily ordinary life and the daily happenings at Casa de la Loma.So, tell me: Do you have any questions for me as I get back into the over-sharing of my days? 👀#mybigfatcubanfamily #belikemarta #callmewella #mbfcf
