I think since the day I was born, I knew how great you were. I could not talk and maybe I could not even see you clearly. But I'm sure I remember the emotion that emanated from your body, holding me with such delicacy in your arms and the tremor of your voice to pronounce my name for the first time. I think I remember your face of happiness the first time I said "dad" and I will never forget your bright little eyes of happiness, every time I said "I love you, my daddy mine".

I was growing up with you, learning from you to be better every day ... I always saw you so big, so smart!

I always thought you were unique ...

You were my father, my mentor, my best friend.

You were that necessary mixture of sweetness and firmness, strength and tenderness ...

You played with me on the floor of the house, you read me stories when going to sleep, you took me to school, to the park, to the zoo.

With you I knew what it was like to laugh out loud, what it was to learn mathematics in a funny way ...

Today, it is a day full of nostalgia and my mind is full of your memory. I will never forget how wonderful you were, how affectionate, joking, funny, exemplary. comprehensive and above all, such a good friend, my daddy.
I am proud of being your daughter; I believe that I will never get tired of thanking God for giving me the family he gave me, especially the parents I had the great blessing to have.

Thanks my old man, for waking up in the mornings to go to classes, with a cup of coffee in his hand and with that look full of tenderness saying: "Doña Ali, wake up time".

Thank you for raising me in this home full of moral values, principles, love and respect ... simply THANK YOU FOR BEING "MY DADDY MINE"

I'll love you forever, daddy ... since your departure, part of my north has vanished and only the arrival of my baby has redrawn that north that had been erased.

You were always my reliable and solid rock full of love and kindness.

God bless you now that you are with Him ... !!!
