His Last Moment With His Daughter, Celita

One day, thinking about his children, [Che] told us with a deep sense of affection and nostalgia of his last conversation with his daughter Celita. Just before leaving Cuba for good, he went to his house to see his children for the last time and to say goodbye to them. Naturally, he went disguised as Ramón, the middle-aged man with a businessman’s appearance who traveled around much of the world eluding the eye of the CIA. His disguise was so good that the sentries at the house did not recognize him, nor did his daughter. Che took her in his arms, and then sat her on his lap and caressed her hand. The little girl said to Aleida, his wife, who witnessed the scene:
“Mommy, this old man loves me.”
Che did not find it painful to relate this incident, although his voice revealed great tenderness. We understood what it meant to him to hear this statement by his beloved daughter, to whom he could not even say goodbye, as any other father would do in a similar situation.
He showed the same tenderness toward his guerrilla comrades, who reciprocated with a total and unlimited affection and admiration for him… (p. 387, “My Campaign with Che” by Inti Peredo contained in “The Bolivian Diary by Che Guevara”)

I wonder why this country didn’t adopt the pound as its currency unit. Why did it adopt the dollar (S$)? Considering the historical ties, it would’ve been more natural if the currency were called “Singapore pound (S₤).”
