This part of the history of my father is more recently that the history about the General Monteagudo, it is in Memoriam of my uncle Ladislao Monteagudo, known by Llille in Placetas. He was 1 year old when his father died, and then he was the member of the family more close to my Grandmother Virginia Aviño, called by her
children, Mamia. He was a normal man until he knew a beautiful girl of 18 years old, and he had 36, they were in love and they married after several months that they were known., but the girl was not enough good for him, or he never was enough good for her. Something it happen in this family, that we never
understand, but yesterday I knew my cousin Marycari in a very bad moment of her live, when her loved husband just died after he were sick for many months.
I remember my uncle as a young man, who was one of the best dancers in our town. Why today am I so embarrassed for his life? Maybe because my cousin felt very bad because for some reason her mother never says that his father was my uncle Llille. He was
always very lovely with me, and with my sister. In fact my mother selected him as the godfather of my sister, but the revolution was a trauma for him, he never wanted Fidel Castro, and as I told before, he was in jail for almost 10 years. During this time, his younger daughter was born, and he never met her until she was a
young woman and by herself, she tried to find him. Last nigh, she knew by me, that his father was always a very good man, and never made something bad to her mother only he wanted that she waited for him, almost ten years, when he was in jail. It is a
big lie, that my uncle did not want their children, in particular Marycary. The big problem was that the revolution was terrible in jail, and he never wanted to consider the possibility to show that he changed his mind only for the opportunity to stay out the jail. The mother of marycari was waiting her, and almost lost the baby because her husband was in jail. In my family for some very incongruent situation, my grandmother mamia always wanted that all her granddaughters received the protection of the Virgen of the Charity of Cobre, the patron of
birth me. She was a week in the hospital, and the doctor didn’t hear me inside my mother and suddenly I was born when my grandmother Mamia was entered to the hospital salon where my mother was delivered me. It was a miracle for my family, but my mother never told me that until I was a woman and my daughter
was sick.
The mother of Marycari had a lot of problem with her mother’s in law Mamia, both wanted my uncle and he would be only for one of them. So, she was very angry with mamia and decided to give her name to her first daughter, but meanwhile she was pregnant of the
second child, it was so terrible the situation with my uncle and her. She was very afraid and wanted to put her daughter in the hands of the Virgen and gave the name Maria de la Caridad,
Marycari. She was the only in the family that has this name, all of us are called Maria and one second name and the third name is de la Caridad. My grandmother Mamia only had granddaughters, why? So, I guess that it was insane for my grandmother Mamia to love so much their children, because everybody know that we lost the children when they married, and only the daughters love enough
their parent to resist them even when they are so very old, and do not understand what happen around them.
