His brother, Francisco Sosa de Quesada married my grand aunt, Isabel Carolina Moya de Quesada. Aristides was a general in the army in Cuba. He also wrote poems. I translated one that I particularly liked: "Thank you Lord for your kindness because I'm happy working for my living because I live in a land of freedom because I can express my thoughts and feeling But don't forget,Lord, those who live in darkness and desperation those who live in poverty and humiliation those who have to smile although unhappy those who have lost their faith and freedom My prayers are for them, Lord, for I have enough with what I have a pen to write and books to read a coat to keep me warm and a window to gaze at heaven" Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
