Somos Un Solo Pueblo 03 Rafael Hernández

When~Cuando, I was a young Teen in NYC, we'd listen to the Spanish Radio called 'Radio EKEE WUHN 99 de Nueva York. The DisJockey's favorite line was 'El Querer es Vivir' translated 'To Desire is to Live', he was proud of his position having studied Radio Broadcasting at night and riding the NY subways-homeless during the day. We'd listen to him even on Saturday morning, he was a staple of wisecracks and wisdom for us kids to fly right and excel in all we did to make our parents proud of us. Such were the songs we'd listen to 'Mama, Yo tengo frio~Mother I am cold...a lamento~cry how cold the winters in NY were compared to Puerto Rico's Tropic heat. We listen and understand our parent's hopes and dreams of coming to America and their sadness of giving the Joy of their beautiful Island...many lessons were learned, tears shed and laughter on those mornings of long ago. Mama yo tengo memorias~Mother I have memories...that no one will take away. Be Blessed in your day to share the Joy and pains of your upbringing with your descendants...Thank you Liam Velasquez for picking up the torch of our loving laughter in legacy. Love you all, and yes Joel~you are a Puerto Rican <3  Nana Ana 4/3/23 AD.
