We reproduce here a letter which Adriana Pérez O’Connor sent to her husband Gerardo Hernández, incarcerated in USP Victorville, California and sentenced to two life terms plus 15 years. A friend of the couple, Yoerky Sánchez, posted in on Internet and CubaDebate is sharing it with readers so that we will never forget the terrible injustice which separates these lovers.

A GIFT

MY love, Valentine’s Day is approaching and once again, we are still separated; every year we say the same thing, this will be the last one!

I wish to wake up beside you and embrace you like most couples, who today I envy, will do. A right that has been snatched from us for a very long time; more than 14 years without kissing you, without touching you, having to resign myself just to hearing your voice during a call – when that is possible – a postcard or some detail thanks to the creativity which characterizes you and the solidarity of those who make every effort to force from us a smile of joy.

Looking through some papers and photos I remained looking at the last ones that we took on my birthday in January 1998 and I couldn’t stop thinking of how happy we were and always were at that time, our eyes said everything. "Where is my spring? Where is the sun hidden which forgot my garden, which touched my soul?" as the song says.

I found myself dreaming that you were free, back home with me, and in a fierce embrace I asked you not to leave me alone again. Time’s coming! as you would say.

For that reason, on this day of happiness, romance and gifts, I cannot find a better present for you than to offer you my future, because you already own my past and my present.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Please come back soon, I need you, I love you.

Your Bonsai,

February 7, 2012.

Carta de amor de Adriana a Gerardo: “Por favor, regresa pronto, te necesito”

Granma reproduce una carta que Adriana Pérez O’Connor le ha enviado a su esposo Gerardo Hernández, preso en Victorville, California, y condenado a dos cadenas perpetuas más 15 años. Un amigo de la pareja, el colega Yoerky Sánchez, la divulgó en Internet y Cubadebate la compartió con sus lectores para que no olvidemos ni un instante la terrible injusticia que separa a los dos enamorados

REGALO

Amor, se acerca la fecha de los enamorados y una vez más continuamos separados; todos los años decimos lo mismo, ¡este será el último!

Deseo despertar a tu lado y abrazarte como lo harán la mayoría de las parejas, de las que hoy siento envidia. Derecho que nos han arrebatado por mucho tiempo; más de catorce años sin besarte, sin tocarte, conformándome solo con oír tu voz en una llamada, cuando se puede, una postal o algún detalle gracias a la creatividad que te caracteriza y al apoyo solidario de quienes brindan sus esfuerzos por arrancarnos una sonrisa de felicidad.

Revisando unos papeles y fotos me detuve en las últimas que nos tomamos el día de mi cumpleaños en enero de 1998 y no pude dejar de pensar en lo felices que estábamos y éramos en ese entonces, nuestros ojos lo decían todo.

"¿Dónde está mi primavera? ¿Dónde se ha escondido el sol que mi jardín olvidó, que el alma me marchitó?", como dice la canción.

Me descubrí soñando que ya estabas libre, de vuelta en casa junto a mí, y en un fuerte abrazo te pedía que no volvieras a dejarme sola. ¡Llega tiempo!, como sueles expresar.

Por eso en este día de felicidad, romance y regalos no encuentro mejor obsequio para ti que ofrecerte mi futuro, porque ya eres dueño de mi pasado y de mi presente.

¡¡¡FELICIDADES!!!

Por favor, regresa pronto, te necesito, te amo.

Tu Bonsái,
7 de febrero de 2012
