Dad is quite concerned with a document they made him sign at the time he left. He was forced to sign a document denouncing his ability to ever return to Cuba and if he did, he would face a prison sentence.
When we talk about the beauty of Cuba, the cigars, the rum, etc., it is tragic events such as my father and that document that folks have no clue about and can never understand why some Cubans feel so strongly against the bill that is about to be passed.
Then I realized, holy crap, we have the same name. I hope they don't confuse me for my dad.

Understood. And when you take a step or two back and think about what a "simple" purchase of cigars is really doing...makes you think about what you're furthering. At least it does for me.
