I’ve been away from my channel for a while, and I wanted to share why in the most honest way I can. For the last year and a half, my life was centered around caring for my father full time. This video is the memorial I created for him—Marcos Maya—a “celebration of life” that honors who he was, what he carried, and the love he left behind. Through the music and the words, I walk you through his story: from old Havana to building a life in Houston, the courage it took to leave Cuba, and the strength he showed every day. I talk about the values he passed down to our family—four children, five grandchildren—and the little details that still feel like him: Cuban coffee at the table, family meals like pork and yuca, roses in the garden, prayer in the quiet, and even cheering on the Houston Astros. This isn’t a typical reaction or travel vlog—this is me letting you into a season that changed me, and sharing a tribute that keeps his rhythm and memory alive.
