This October 28, rivers and seas will be filled with flowers, with hope, with that myth that not even death can take to the depths of the waters.
Sixty-five years of a disappearance without return does not prevent to leave without flowers the gardens of Cuba, an Island that does not resign itself to have lost an immense man, great of heart and principles.
They say that there was no inch of land and sea that was not recorded. They say that, as rarely, millions of men and women searched for a human being, a single soul that neither the land nor the sea wanted to return the legend to us.
Cuba mourned the Commander who, more than swearing, showed boundless loyalty to Fidel to become the Hero of Yaguajay in Villaclareño soil, where he arrived with his men in command of the Antonio Maceo Column number 2, almost legless for so much for such a hazardous road carved from the Sierra Maestra.
The villages cannot erase his imprint, where numerous towns were liberated, after the telluric force that was growing in those lands by a rebel star that at the point of bullet and psychological harassment made the adversary lay down his arms, forced to raise the white flag.
And before the eyes of all was Camilo, with his hat, beaten by the wind and not by shrapnel; there he was eternalizing his epic, valued by Ché as the man of a hundred battles, Fidel’s man of trust in the difficult moments of the war.
Before the eyes of his Cuba, there is and will be the self-sacrificing fighter who always made sacrifice an instrument to temper his character and forge that of the troops.
Camilo was Camilo, Lord of the Vanguard, a complete guerrilla who imposed himself by that colorful war that he knew how to make. Camilo Cienfuegos is the symbol that inspires in the media challenges of an Island that does not renounce to its conquests, in the recovery of a Guantanamo that calls for solidarity arms.
This October 28, rivers and seas will be filled with flowers, with hope, with challenges, because the death of one of the illustrious sons of the Homeland has not been able to take him to the depths of the waters.
