I started out my life as a WASP, which here in the USA is the acronym for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Translated that means I am a 56 year old American woman of European (Swedish, Swiss, Irish and English) decent who is an Evangelical Bible-believing Christian saved by the grace of God. However, in my teens, the Cuban refugees leaving their homeland after Castro turned Communist arrived in droves to Chicago where I was born and lived my whole life. I met a Cuban young man and from that point on, as others were burning their bras, sitting-in, dropping out, smoking pot and in general bucking up against the establishment, I rebelled in my own, and I like to think safer, way. I integrated myself into the Cuban community and culture. I learned Spanish and I learned about the Cuban plight. I absorbed the hospitality and sense of family of their culture. I learned to be a dedicated parent who sacrificed for one's children and did not leave them with sitters (con't. blog #1)
