The New Yorkerさんのインスタグラム写真 - (The New YorkerInstagram)「In 1963, amid the turmoil of the early Cuban Revolution, Ada Ferrer and her mother fled to the U.S., leaving behind Ferrer’s half brother, Poly, who was nine years old at the time and out playing with friends. For weeks after they left, an aunt told Ferrer, Poly would clutch his mother’s housedress at night and cry. “My mother’s decision has always haunted me,” Ferrer writes. “I would look at my daughters and wonder what could ever make me leave them. Could I have gone, as my mother had, in secret, without saying goodbye?” Still, Ferrer writes, “I can explain how, amid the turmoil, my mother felt forced to take one child and leave another. . . . None of it—not the revolution, not our migration, not Poly’s abandonment—was ever meant to be permanent.” Tap the link in our bio to read Ferrer’s Personal History, about how the revolution tore her family apart—and about the decades they spent trying to heal.」2月26日 5時05分
