85-Year-Old Cuban Grandma Sheds Tears of Joy After Fidel Castro’s Death

A woman wasn't sure her mother would understand the historic event that just took place, but her smile said it all. In 1965, Flora Suarez fled with her family to the US from Cuba after Fidel Castro came to power. She is now 85 and suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Her daughter wrapped her in the Cuban flag as she told her Castro had died. Flora smiled and then started to cry. It seems Alzheimer's hasn't taken away her memories of leaving Cuba or the pain Castro inflicted on so many people. #InsideEdition

Fun fact: he could've been dead sooner through a milkshake being poisoned the poison cracked and the assasination was a flop(So was the other 600 attempts)

Fun fact: fidel castro survived nearly 600 assasinaton attemps.

Flora passed away in 2019, RIP, so good she was able to see and understand what happened before she left.

What the heck, he died four years ago? It feels like yesterday, I clearly remember my grandparents all cheering and celebrating for DAYS afterwards.

Instead of Castro getting a funeral, everyone is having a party

Next time anyone tells me Castro was a good man, I’m showing them this video.

[enigma]

I remember celebrating this in the city with my family, I can't drink so I had apple cyder

[firemangan]

CIA: *Tried to kill him for like 600 times*

Castro: Fine, I’ll do it myself!

[mtfunnybones]

FBI: we try anything.
Castro: you'll still miss me hahaha!!!
Death: Hello Castro.
Castro: *swear in Spanish*

I was happy to hear that Fidel Castro died I was little when I fled Cuba and now hearing this will make a happy man when I die

[wiredmusic]

idk why this is a good thing when his brother is still in power tho lol

[paiged]

Awww, I don't know why but I'm crying even if I don't understand anything rn!

[mr.sheenanigan]

I feel bad for all the CIA agents that tried to kill him, but failed. They were probably like

“All the people I’ve killed, by letting you live”

[unibeargaming]

My family made a frickin celebration about his death when we aren't even Cuban I barely know him like wth mom xD

[sauceyeti]

Apolgy for bad english

Where were u wen Castro die?

I was at house eating mariquitas when phone ring

"Fidel Castro is kil"

*"YES!"*

[twm]

86 year old Cuban: "Life under Castro was horrible, we were almost always starving, we always had to look over our shoulders because of the secret police, and my brother was arrested for speaking out against the government and was worked to death in a forced labor camp."

19 year old college student: "But free healthcare tho."

[regularslimemhmm]

I gotta say fidel castro is the most luckiest guy in the world from dying of old age since he has 600 assasination attempts
