“Beloved Joana. Time passes, but my love for you remains intact. Within my imperfections, I learned that I cannot dedicate my time to what I was, I have to transform my energy into what it is. And it’s what I dreamed of, what I dreamed of, what I keep dreaming of. I want to walk all paths with you. I didn’t make a mistake as a woman. Yes, it was you, and it will be you forever.”he said.

And he added: “There is not a single day, not a single moment and not a single plan that you are not in. I pray every day that I can see you wake up. Nostalgia is for those who have no reason to dream. I love you and feel you every day, in a place that only you have access to. Wherever it is, however it is, whatever it is… But, you are always by my side. I miss you. I love you”.
