Monday, June 3, 2024 by Amelia Soto

A Cuban mother was reunited with her son in the United States after 24 years of separation, resulting in a touching scene filled with tears, hugs, and overwhelming emotions. Shared through the event site Only in Dade, the reunion video captured the mix of pain and joy experienced by the family.

Welcomed by her family in the U.S., the woman ended up in a never-ending embrace with her son after 193,536 hours without being able to kiss or hug him. "Mother reunites with her son and family after 24 years apart! What an incredible moment!" the platform noted on its social media.

Kneeling before his mother, both son and mother burst into tears and then embraced tightly. "Oh, my son!" the mother was heard saying, her voice choked with emotion.

In late May, another Cuban mother reunited with her son and parents in the U.S. after four years apart. The emotional scene unfolded at the airport, where she greeted them with the traditional welcome balloons adorned with the American flag. "The pain of separation is nothing compared to the joy of reunion," she wrote.

Just two days earlier, another social media-shared scene depicted the drama of Cuban families when two sisters reunited in the U.S. after almost a year and a half apart. "After almost a year and a half, we are together again. Thank you, God, for your beautiful blessings. Finally, together forever," one of them said in the video.

Another similar scene occurred at the airport 24 hours before that, when a Cuban woman from Miami shared the emotional reunion with her family after five years of separation. "Family reunited, heart content. Five years apart," expressed the young Cuban, who, along with other relatives, welcomed her family at the airport with flowers and typical welcome balloons.
