My mom called this morning to share today marks 49 yrs since she arrived in the U.S. from Cuba. A humbling reminder of the sacrifices made by my grandparents. I miss my Abuela so much in these weird times.

And then, a sidewalk scene Carl Hiaasen couldn’t conjure up: a guy hires a mariachi band to play for his inmate brother. Swears they can hear the music across the street inside the jail. Only in Miami.

Lincoln Díaz-Balart dedicated his life to public service. He loved this country and never forgot the country he left. I remember as a child when he was elected to congress. A member of the exilio - now a member of the House of Representatives. It taught me what could be achieved regardless of where you came from. Praying for Jose and Mario and Danny and the entire Díaz- Balart family. 🇺🇸 🇨🇺
