Todo lo que soy te lo debo a ti, luchaste como el más valiente de los guerreros contra tu enfermedad, lo cual nos llenaba de impotencia al no poder ayudarte, te fuiste en paz y ahora gozas de la dicha eterna.

 Hasta pronto padre mío, nunca más nos veremos físicamente, pero nuestras almas más pronto que tarde se juntaran nuevamente.
