Emails to fidel II

I thought I'd post a couple more emails sent to fidel by the patrons of the Cuba Nostalgia Convention from the Babalu Blog exhibit for you reading pleasure:

First, from a Cuban-American woman:

Mensaje a fidel,

fidel, no te despreocupes de la abilidad de los Cubanos. Bastante tiempo ha pasado pero no en vano. Tu tiempo pronto terminara, porque no dejaremos que se prolongue le cegera que has tratado de crear. Nosotros le estamos abriendo los ojos a aquellos que oprimes que hay un mundo mejor. El mundo, y especialmente la juventud lograran reestablecer el derecho de todos los cubanos de escojer un nuevo dia sin ti y todo lo que tu representas.

Cubana y con orgullo, el cual nunce destruiras.
Pronto llegara tu dia.

(fidel, do not ignore the ability of Cubans. A long time has passed but not in vain. Your time soon will be over, because we will not allow the blindness you have tried to create to be prolonged. We are opening the eyes of those you oppress and showing them a better world. The world, and especially our youth will reestablish the right of all Cubans to choose a new day without you and everything that you represent.

A Cuban woman with pride, which you will never destroy.
Your day will come soon.

From another Cuban Woman:

Mensaje a fidel,

Desde aqui te mando a decir que soy muy feliz por estar fuera de to dominio y que saque a mi hija del comunismo y mis nietos nacieron en tierra de libertad. Naci en al 59, no conoci la libertad hasta que llegue aqui. Muerete o vete y deja ese pais libre que nadie te quiere.

(From here I'd like to tell you that I am very happy for being away from your dominion and that I removed my daughter from communism and my grandchildren were born in the land of liberty. I was born in 59 and did not know freedom until I came here. Die or leave and let that country be free for nobody likes you.)

And this from an 11 year old Cuban-American soon to be woman:

Mensaje a fidel,

fidel castro, porque tu eres un asesino tu matastes a mi abuelito que era muy joven?

Mi mama te quiso querer sin embrago te aprendio a odiar por la razon que mataste a mi abuelo. Uno de estos dias te vas a morir y si no mueres este año te voy a matar. Tu fusilastes a mi abuelo y eso es lo que los americanos te van a hacer. Yo tengo 11 años y los cumpli el 20 de mayo y para el proximo año ya tu no estaras. Viejo cagado.

(fidel castro, why are you an assasin, you killed my grandpa who was very young.

My mother wanted to like you yet she learned to hate you because you killed my grandfather. You shot my grandfather and that's what the Americans will do to you. I am 11 years old and my birthday is May 20th and next you will not be here. Shitty old man.

And from another Cuban woman, a short and concise sentiment:

Mensaje a fidel,

Que triste para usted que la muerte suya sea la alegria de todos los pueblos libres. Viva la libertad!!!

Una exiliada.

(How sad for you that your death will be the joy of all free peoples. Long live liberty!)

The Cuban woman has truly borne the brunt of fidel castro's destruction of the Cuban people. Having lost sons, fathers, brothers, husbands and grandfathers to the dictator's inhumane whims for over 46 years. Yet despite their losses and pain, they are still the first to say "Aqui estoy!" (Here I am!) in their defiance towards fidel castro and his regime and are there, side by side with the men in their fight for the restoration of freedom for the people of Cuba.
