sunshine_queenI know it doesn't really matter much to anyone other than, like, me, but I have to post about it- Castro has relinquished power to his brother.
I need to add that it's temporary, because he's undergoing surgery, but Castro has never given up power. Not ever. And now he's done it, because he's having an intestinal surgery, and... sure, it could be just a month-long thing, but all of Miami is freaking out and honking in the streets under the (common) assumption that anyone would be better than Fidel.
And here I am, afraid to jinx it by talking about it, and everyone is giddily dancing about it as if he were dead already (Although, technically, he could be, and the government could be scrambling- stop with the conspiracies, omg!) and it's the whole, "Once Castro dies, everything will get better" mentality that I've grown up with and heard all my life, that everyone else has too, apparently, and I'm excited, dammit.
