Golden Voices 2

Today I had a really good conversation with  a woman of 73 years of age. Other than broken bones that will not heal and arthritis, she said its just old age, with a smile.

Looking back in reflective retrospect, she spoke to me of long years past. She said all the people she knew are dead.

She spoke of fashions she wore and loved so many years ago. She  and I both smiled when she said they brought the mini skirt back too late. She spoked of metal  belts and 1960's garb that was the fashion of many fashions ago.

She sadly said, she left Cuba at eighteen years old, in 1959, due to the repression of the Cuban government. If was very difficult for her and her family to live under Fidel Castro's government. They did not allow people to gather on the streets; they did not allow you to have company in your home, because everything was aways under suspicion. Finally she told me she was a school teacher, which explained her demeanor and way with words.
If you listened very close you could almost hear the Cuban accent.

She is what I describe as a golden voice. I had the fortune of speaking and gleaning from.

She lost all she had to the communist regime. Her father was killed by the Cuban government. People gave up large homes for freedom.
She asked. what is better wealth or freedom?  She said, "yes freedom is better."

"People waste a lot because they take everything for granted she feels so sorry for the people coming along after." She said, "there could possibly be another 911. She senses that it is on its way."
