Dear Hildita, Aleidita, Camilo, Celia and Ernesto:

   If you ever have to read this letter, it will be because I am no longer with you. You practically will not remember me, and the small ones will not remember at all.

   Your father has been a man who acted on his believes and has certainly been loyal to his conventions.

   Grow up as good revolutionaries. Study hard so that you can master technology, which allows you to master nature. Remember that the revolution is what is important, and each one of us, alone is worth nothing.

   Above all, always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed against anyone anywhere in the world. This is the most beautiful quality in a revolutionary.

   Until forever, my children. I still hope to see you. A great big kiss and a big hung from

Papá
