A Short Time After The Death Of The Father Of Famous Footballer Lionel Messi, He Wrote Him A Farewell Letter
In the letter, the famous player said:
"Dad, I still can’t believe you’re gone. I’m not thinking, and I don’t want to break down. It’s extremely hard for me to accept that from now on I won’t see you again, we won’t talk again. I know you were suffering and it would have been better if you kept living, but you left too soon. We still had many things to do together and enjoy.
You asked me so much to play in the last World Cup, and in the days leading up to it you were in the most pain. This was the first time you wouldn’t be at a World Cup, but Mum told me you would get better and that you’d be able to travel.
I told you we would reach the final so you could come and watch.
After every game I would wait, hoping for your message.
The silence I felt is what made me realize things were really bad. Even so, I didn’t stop thinking about giving my best, so I could buy you time to watch at least one game.
We reached the final but you weren’t here. I wanted to win it to bring it to you and show you a new one. I couldn’t; my legs wouldn’t let me. This time I tried to fight against my body, but I couldn’t. I never enjoyed playing.
When I arrived, you thought we had lost the final on penalties. We didn’t get to talk about anything that happened. Because you wouldn’t enjoy the stories. We weren’t champions, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every single game we played. And you were right again, I had to be among those playing it.
I don’t know what I’ll do without you, I don’t know how I’ll keep going. Football is all I play and now I have a lot of doubts about whether I will continue playing it for a long time. You were with me from the very beginning; there was just a little time left until the end. Why couldn’t you hold on a little longer so we could finish together?
I will miss you so much, but you will always be with me.
Rest in peace and watch over us from above like you did down here. Thank you for everything.
I love you, Dad."
