Congratulations on your anniversary! My husband's parents (both now deceased) fled Cuba in the early sixties with money taped into the pages of a magazine while they left homes, bank accounts and all worldly possessions behind. His father chose America over Spain (his home country) due to the unrest in Spain at the time as well. His father was an architect and quite wealthy when they fled and started all over as a busboy in Miami, Florida, eventually earning his architect degree in the U.S. My husband's mother was born and raised in Cuba. I've only recently learned about my dad's real father and relatives we never knew. My family is very small in comparison and we did not come from wealth but from coal miners and factory workers in the hills of Pennsylvania. We were united in faith and have been happily married for 27 years this October.
Happy anniversary!
