Story shared: A Little House on a Lake

Tue, 20 Aug 2013 06:55:52 EDT

For a few years Apitita, as she was known to her grandchildren, would rent a house at Sailor’s Lake in the Poconos. She would take my mom, me, Tina, Alex, and a box of Krispy Kreme donuts for an entire week each summer. This seems so long ago but I still remember how much fun that was. We would fish, swim, take out the row boat, and go to the alpine slide at Camelback Mountain. I know she cherished those weeks in the Poconos but it wasn’t so much the beauty of the lake or the mountains. What she loved was seeing the joy Tina, Alex, and I had while we were there. And that is pretty much how she lived her life: her happiness came in how happy she could make everyone around her. And believe me, it was hard not to enjoy life when she was around. All my love, Apitita and thank you.

Story shared: A Lady with Class and Sophistication

Mon, 19 Aug 2013 21:32:40 EDT

I first met "Apitita" in Miami Beach, FL while I was vacationing with my future husband, George's family. George had filled me in about his grandparents, Apitita and Cuco, prior to my meeting them. I knew from his many stories that he was lucky to have had such loving grandparents in his life. Once I met them, I knew instantly why they were so special. They each had such spunk and zest for life--and clearly loved each other. Apetita always carried herself with such grace and sophistication. She always looked elegant and coordinated. Despite her attention to detail, she was equally warm and unpretentious. I wish I could have met her earlier to have experienced her home in Philadelphia they way George describes it. I can almost imagine her standing in the kitchen cooking some fantastic Cuban meal, asking "Jorgie" if he would like some more white rice. My husband always said no one could make white rice like Apitita. I have often wondered if it was the rice that was so special or the fact that it was a loving grandmother feeding a grandson in only a way a grandmother can? Rest in peace, Apitita.

Story shared: Memories of Mami

Sun, 18 Aug 2013 23:53:14 EDT

My Dearest Mami, Where to begin? How to begin? So many years and so many memories spent as a family. I could never do justice with words on a page to convey how lucky, thankful, and blessed I am that the Lord graced me with your presence. It is rare to find people as lovely as you in our lives. We have been so very lucky to be able to have had you as part of our lives for so very long. What a fantastic life you led. A woman of means, privilege and security in Havana to a life of unknown possibilities in America doing what was best for your children and the children of your siblings. Talk about role models. The strength and conviction you demonstrated while starting all over and care for your family while your beloved father was denied the chance to accompany you. You faced hard times and uncertainty while building a new life, in a new world. I listened intently to these stories on our many trips to Florida. My admiration and love for you and for Cuco knows no bounds. I have always thought of you as my second Mother and learned much needed guidance on being a parent. Because of you I met Bibi and was blessed with my own children. I learned more about family from your family then I could imagine. You took care of our children while we worked. You cooked for us when Bea and I worked. I treasure those dinners, Christmas mornings, ’ The Cuban Posse’s’ marathon Christmas Eve dinners, Mother’s Day at the diner. Tita and Cuco always with us through pre-school, grade school, and sports events for the boys. Times they will always treasure. There are so many wonderful memories. There will never be another like you Tita. Con todo mi amor, Kevin

Story shared: Circle of life

Sun, 18 Aug 2013 22:00:16 EDT

The greatest gift is the gift of a mother's love. I will never forget my mother's love and the giving of herself when I became a mother. Without hesitation she decided to become “daycare” for my two boys. It was a fulltime job for her along with my father, which she never tired or complained. I don’t know what I would have done without her, at time when you need a mother the most. It was a time my boys will not soon forget and will probably treasure all their lives. I don’t know how or if she will ever know how much she has meant to me. I pray that one day I will be able to do for my children, what she did for me… Her mother did for her, (Aba took care of me). The circle of life…

Story shared: Christmas Morning

Sun, 18 Aug 2013 21:21:13 EDT

One of my greatest childhood memories was going to my grandparent's house for Christmas morning breakfast. Each year, Apitita and Cuco would host our traditional Cuban Christmas Eve dinner. Apitita would always let us call the "Santa Hotline" to see how close Santa was to our house. We would race home late at night and go right to bed. On Christmas morning, after opening our presents at home, we would immediately get dressed and couldn't wait to go back to Apitita and Cuco's for the long-standing tradition of Christmas morning breakfast with the entire family. It was not to be missed by anyone. We continued celebrating Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at my grandparent's house well into my adulthood and I am thankful I was able to share this wonderful memory with my husband, Mike for a few years. To this day, we continue to celebrate this Christmas morning breakfast tradition at my parent's house. And we have celebrated Christmas Eve many times at my house. I have often wondered if my love of hosting parties and family gatherings comes from Apitita. After all, I learned from the best!
