The full message from the Colombian fan to his daughter before euthanasia
Dear daughter
Today I find myself on the threshold of a goodbye that I never imagined I would have to say. My heart aches knowing that I will not be at your side to accompany you in the moments to come, to guide you with my love and wisdom. You are my light, my joy, the reason for each of my efforts and sacrifices.
I say goodbye with a broken heart, but with the hope that you will always remember the happy moments we shared. I am sorry I cannot be there for you, but I trust that you will carry in your heart the teachings and love that I tried to transmit to you.
The world can be a challenging place, but I want you to know that I will always be with you in spirit, guiding and protecting you from beyond the grave. Don’t forget that you are strong, brave, and have a heart full of kindness.
To you, my dear daughter, I thank you for being the light in my life, for making me feel indescribable joy and for giving me the purest and most sincere love. Even if our lives separate in this world, I will always be in your memories and in every corner of your heart.
