The Best Answer for a Good Question

For these days many people inside of and outside Cuba wonder what happens with Fidel Castro. Nowpublic also raises the question and wants to know.   
 
 
It is true that the Cuban leader has not been seen in IN PUBLIC since the end of July  2006, when he got a severe illness.  Nevertheless, between surgeries and treatments he has deployed an intense intellectual activity. He has received presidents and other personalities : his close  friend and near admirer Hugo Chávez (Venezuela),  the Chinese president Hu Hintao, the number two of the Ortodox Russian Church,  president Dos Santos of Angola and the journalists and writers Miguel Bonasso, Stella Calloni and Gabriel García Márquez, among others.   
 
His Reflections, a column published in the local newspaper Granma and later in the website  www.cubadebate.cu has been demostrations of his sharp analyses and projections on international and  domestic matters.   The more recent message was a congratulation to the Cuban people for the 50 anniversary of the victory of the Cuban Revolution, January 1st. 1959
 
In a Proclaim to the Cuban People, July 31, 2006, Fidel explained the reasons of his retirement from main positions in Cuba (Party and Government).   In one of his columns, he also explained that due to the complexities of the country, his health condition would become a secret of State. 
 
In different moments we have seen Fidel in videos and pictures, walking, reading, leaving an elevator, or greeting to personalities. Once he affirmed that he didn't always have time to condition his image to make a public appearance.  In interviews and declarations he has reminded us that human life has a limit and that the most important thing is tha when he disappears physically, the Cuban Revolution won't vanish.   
 
Fidel will always be Fidel, but we want to see him again. I think the best answer for that question in the air now is : "Fidel is well, thanks.". I'm sure millions of Cubans and many others over the World agree, because he is a great buddy.
