Aprons in Cuba

My Cuban husband visited Cuba in March. Before he left I made two aprons, one to give to his mother and one to give to his Madrina (Godmother)whom I have never met but have been corresponding with through letters.

His mother chose one and his Godmother chose this one. This week I received a note from her that said:





Thanks for your presents. I liked the apron very much because it is made with your hands. I wear the apron when I cook or wash the dishes. I will think of you when I wear it and always because you are my God-Daughter too.

Things like this just make me feel like life is worth living. I really hope I meet her one day. She is old, she was sick last year. There is a chance I won't ever meet her.
