I chose Celia Cruz for “Sonnet 130” because she was not that beautiful but to her husband she was unique. They were in love and that’s what mattered to him. To Pedro Knight (Celia’s husband), she was everything, they were married for 41 years. It was because she died of a cancerous brain tumor. After her death, his health became worst. He suffered a lot for his beloved wife. He died of a heart attack in February 2007. It’s a cute love story like Romeo and Juliet. That’s why I chose her for this Sonnet.
