I feel lucky that I can look at this picture and (thanks to facebook) know where, how and with whom my kindergarten friends are right now. Before Facebook I used to wonder, remember, imagine everything about my friends; now I know that they are fathers, engineers, having fun, working hard, living their path. As emigrants, they are all spread around the world, Spain, USA, Canada, Italy; living a forced exile, happily adapted or not, and proudly Cubans.
About me, I can only say that I remember every single second about that day, I remember my teachers, all of my friends and that itchy lace dress.
Esta es mi foto de graduacion de Kindergarten. Circulo Infantil Retoños Martiano, Varadero, Cuba, año 1983.
Antes del fenomeno Facebook solia mirar esta foto e imaginar una historia detrás de estos niños de 5 años. Me imaginaba que aquel niño inquieto que corría sin parar, estaría bailando enloquecido en una disco de Ibiza. Fantasiaba ubicandolos en vidas inventadas, preguntandome si se acordarán de mi como yo me acuerdo de ellos. Hoy gracias a Facebook he podido poner historias reales detras de algunas de esas caritas. Se que algunos estan viviendo un exilio forzado extrañando nuestra playa, nuestra archipielago; otros en Cuba... esperando. Me encantaria completar la lista.
