I’m sorry to hear that. you must have very mixed emotions towards your homeland. do you pine for Cuba in Brazil? that must be hard to deal with

I do sometimes put on some Cuban music to listen to and reminisce, but to be honest, I don't regret leaving Cuba, nor do I regret it. Just being able to leave and buy bread without worrying about whether there will be any is a victory for me, and the future my children will have won't be one of misery; it brings me peace of mind. The hardest part is always them growing up far from their grandparents and other relatives; giving them a somewhat "solitary" life is truly the most difficult thing. Otherwise, I don't miss the poverty.

Singapore is the perfect example of how different the paths of nations can be. Your process began alongside Cuba's in 1959. Cuba decided to go for communism and today is practically destroyed, worse than if it had been through a war, unlike you who went down the opposite path and today are among the most prosperous and technologically advanced countries.
