Join us as we close the month of love with Episode 101 – My Only Love This story, like the previous one, begins with two families, the Salih/Gonzalez, Jorge from Syria, married to Adela, a Venezuelan, and the Martinez/Hidalgo, Fernando and Luisa, Cubans, and the turn of events
that led to a fortuitous encounter between two souls.
In a small town like Sabana de Parra, Venezuela, often
you find that people have friends in common and yet do not know each other, equivalent to six degrees of separation. Such was the case for Beatriz, the eldest daughter of Jorge and Adela, and Marcos, the middle son of Fernando and Luisa.
Acompáñenos a cerrar el mes del amor con el Episodio 101 – Mi Único Amor Esta historia, al igual que la anterior, comienza con dos familias, los Salih/Gonzalez, Jorge
proveniente de Siria, casado con Adela, venezolana, y los Martinez/Hidalgo, Fernando y Luisa, cubanos, y el giro de los acontecimientos que llevó a un encuentro fortuito entre dos almas.
En un pueblo pequeño como Sabana de Parra, era frecuente tener amigos en común y, sin embargo, no conocerse, lo que equivale a seis grados de separación, como decimos en los Estados Unidos. Tal fue el caso de Beatriz, la hija mayor de Jorge y Adela, y Marcos, el hijo
medio de Fernando y Luisa.
Dunia and her husband usually stroll around the Manzanillo glorieta in the evenings, but not tonight when the rainy day gave way to more rain, mugginess, and a suffocating evening.
Dunia y su marido suelen pasear por la glorieta de manzanillo por las tardes, pero no esta noche, cuando el día lluvioso dio paso a más lluvia, y una noche pegajosa sofocante.

The story goes that on a sunny afternoon, Emelia, Aileen’s mother, her sister, and their friend Carmen decided to go to La Bodega de Gorgonio. Her mom and her siblings were farm girls or guajiritas, and they always escorted each other when they went uptown.
As soon as they entered la bodega, a young man named Isidro Lorenzo was putting a nickel into the victrola - the jukebox, and the tune playing was, “Como Fue” by Benny Moré.
Would Emelia and Vivo fall in love?

This episode is a historical account based on family oral tradition and genealogy research. Through the Window of Time brings us a view of Camaguey, Habana, Key West, and Tampa and how the lives of a family became intertwined within these cities and the American continent.
It also illustrates the mobility between towns and countries in the 19th and 20th centuries and the result of opportunities gained during peace and war. We can see an example of this undertaking in the descendants of two families, traced to the 1500s and their arrival in Cuba.

ilustra la movilidad entre ciudades y países en los siglos 19 y 20 y el resultado de las oportunidades obtenidas durante la paz y la guerra. Podemos
ver un ejemplo de esta empresa en los descendientes de dos familias, que se remontan a la década de 1500 y su llegada a Cuba.

For her, this day would not be an ordinary day, as you will hear.
