Some parents were able to hug their only son, in an emotional reunion that took place in Miami, United States, where the family emigrated in search of freedom.

“To be able to hug them after so much time, to see them run out to where I was, I mean, there is no way,” said the son, namedOrlando Ruiloba Torres, unable to finish the words cut off by the emotion of the moment.

His testimony was collected by the journalist fromUnivision Javier Diaz, who was able to capture details of this family reunion.

“It is very difficult to emigrate, to leave everything, especially the land where you were born, but well, we have no choice but to take the path if we want to be free,” were the words of Daimí, the mother who had a happy face. .

For his part, the son added that his goal was to obtain “the freedom that was denied to us in Cuba” and clarified that they were not “economic migrants.”

About the wait of almost five months in Mexico for the appointment ofCBP One, the mother spoke about the fear and anguish she felt.

“There was talk about kidnappings, which I saw on the networks, in the groups I was in and it always made me a little afraid,” she said.
