I called her at 7 a.m.
1:19:04
on her last birthday.
1:19:09
I told her:
"Happy birthday mom...

1:19:14
Am I the first to call?"
And she said: "No.

1:19:17
Your daughter was first. "
1:19:19
I said: "She's part of me
so, I'm the first. "

1:19:24
Then I burst into tears.
1:19:28
I know the day will come
when she'll ask me...

1:19:36
"Mommy, why'd you
leave me?"

1:19:42
Come on, Shirley.
1:19:48
It's a pleasure.
Have a seat.

1:19:51
What can I do for you?
1:19:59
Sit here.
1:20:02
Look, sir...
1:20:05
I have a daughter in Cuba,
for 6 years now.

1:20:09
I applied for her
when I got here...

1:20:12
In May '95.
I filed this application.

1:20:19
On that application...
1:20:21
- They replied...
- Who is Misladys?

1:20:23
My daughter, in Cuba.
1:20:26
- Who is Alexander?
- Her father, he's here.

1:20:29
First, there's a mistake
in this application...

1:20:32
it says Misladys
is the applicant...

1:20:36
and she's not.
1:20:39
It's a complete disaster.
1:20:41
- Yes, back then...
- Who made this out?

1:20:45
It's incredible.
1:20:48
Now you'll have to wait
3 years for her visa...

1:20:52
Which can easily become 4.
1:20:59
Ah, it's not that bad.
