A young Cuban woman fulfilled the dream of her life by finally being able to meet her younger sister, a 19-year-old girl, whom she had never seen despite knowing of her existence.
Through TikTokthe story of these two young women became popular due to the particular circumstances of their circumstances, and the video of their meeting quickly went viral.
The story was made known by its own protagonist, Kelly Pérez, 28, who used the popular social network to tell what could well be a movie plot.
The young woman explained that she was born in Cuba, and although she knew about her sister, they have maintained communication all their lives only through calls and messages, since the youngest lives in Spain and had never been able to visit her.
Now that Kelly was able to arrive in the United States, where she has lived for 3 years, the young woman has not hesitated to prioritize meeting her sister, and now she was finally able to bring her, from Europe to the North American country, to meet in person.
“We maintained communication through WhatsApp practically all our lives,” he explained.
The emotional moment of their reunion from Miami International Airport, a common setting for this type of scene, was immortalized on social networks, moving hundreds of spectators.
“Finally I was given the opportunity to meet, treat, live together, embrace the blood of my blood. Life owed us. I receive you today, tomorrow and always, with open arms and a heart beating with emotions and many mixed feelings. I still can’t believe that this dream has come true, every day of my life I asked for it and thank God it came true,” Pérez wrote about the video.

When asked by some users, the young woman pointed out that her mother moved to Spain and had her sister there, so, although she knew about her, she had not been able to meet her personally.
“We didn’t know each other because our mother has been in Spain for more than 20 years without going to Cuba. We only chatted on WhatsApp. It’s kind of tangled,” she added in a comment.
Both the images and the complexity of the story moved netizens, many of whom expressed their congratulations for having been able to achieve their goal.
Still others expressed empathy, and stated that they also dream of their own reunions, a very common aspiration among Cuban emigrants.
“How much happiness. Nothing is impossible and today they are together”; “This video make me cry”; “What a beautiful encounter. I cried profusely. Blessings”; “How they look alike. Blessings,” were some of the comments.
