In a video that has deeply moved hundreds, @mariuby23 shared the emotional moment she reunited with her grandfather in Cuba after two long years apart. The scene is filled with hugs and tears, with the poignant message "Cuba Hurts" in the background, capturing the sentiment of many Cubans who have had to leave their families behind. "Grandpa, I couldn't stand not seeing you for 2 years," she wrote beneath the post, pairing the video with Angel El White's song "Yo Volveré," a tune that echoes the longing of those who have had to emigrate.

The comments section overflowed with emotion, gratitude, and nostalgia, reflecting the experiences of thousands of Cubans who dream of such a reunion. "Thank you. By the grace of Jesus, I saw mine," remarked one user, while another added, "What a blessing to be able to return." The tears and emotion were palpable through the screen; a cousin of @mariuby23 wrote, "My cousin, you made me cry, my uncle looks great," to which the creator responded, "Oh cousin, I left just as I arrived," showing how deeply she was moved by her return.

Amid the heartfelt emotions, some couldn't help but express curiosity about the car featured in the video. "Do they have that Mercedes here?" a user asked, and @mariuby23 humorously clarified that it was a 2024 Lincoln, prompting a few lighter comments.

For many, such reunions are not only joyful moments but also poignant reminders of the pain of being far from loved ones. Seeing the embrace between @mariuby23 and her grandfather, several followers felt a connection and filled the post with messages of hearts, tears, and blessings. "That moment made me very sad," someone commented; another said, "Many blessings," while another sighed, "Oh Mimi, how I long for that day, many congratulations."

Every hug and tear in this video tells a story of love and distance that resonates with those who, like @mariuby23, know the deep yearning for family. In the distance, each reunion is a triumph; every return, a reminder of how deeply "Cuba Hurts."
