A Cuban mother managed to reunite her twin daughters after 78 days of waiting thanks to the parole humanitarian aid enabled last January by US President Joe Biden.
The woman, identified on social networks as Nany Montano, published an emotional video of the moment in which she manages to reunite the girls, barely one year old, at an airport in the United States.
She had come in April with one of the little ones and now the second one was able to arrive in the company of her father.
She said that she had been waiting for them for 78 days, and that every hour of those days was “endless and painful”, despite the fact that she was betting on the dream of seeing her daughters grow up in a free country.
“I missed my daughter, my husband, my mother, my brothers, my home too much. I knew that God would do his work soon, but I didn’t know when exactly and that uncertainty was the worst,” she said.
“Especially because my daughters, at their most primitive cellular level, were never separated. Every night I went through the separation anxiety crisis of my daughter who was just a year old, from her twin sister, and when I managed to sleep her I went to crying inconsolably because I missed them so much that the only thing that prevented me from returning was the fact that I was in a free country, full of opportunities and a good life for them”, expressed the emotional mother.
He said that his sacrifice was rewarded with the best of blessings, since the family is reunited again.
At the airport the parents exchanged the girls and melted into a long hug. Montano did not stop crying, and the little ones did not stop laughing, the video shows.
The dream of reunion continues to be a happiness within reach for many Cuban families who have applied to the program parole humanitarian.
The more than 29,000 Cubans approved to travel to the United States through this initiative triggered the number of similar scenes in the country’s airports, and we have witnessed many thanks to social networks.
However, some 400,000 requests from Cubans are pending approvalaccording to updated figures from the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS).
