What I remember about Cuba in 2013 is that while many of the buildings were crumbling, the living systems were solid. Streets were safe, healthcare was universal and high quality, schools were good. The world we could build without it being throttled by empire.
The Yanks have been determined since 1959 to turn Cuba back to the Mafia-run shithole it was before Castro's revolution. The battle against the corruption of the rich and powerful never ends.

Thank you for sharing your memories of Cuba, and the impact of US relentless sanctions.
Like your father, you are gifted at painting a portrait with words.
