Dear Grandpa...

Dear Jorge Al. Ga.

How are you?

Long without hearing from you, I want you to know I really miss you, I'm looking forward to seeing you again, the day will come, we just have to wait a few weeks.

I know it hasn't been easy for you lately, and I want to tell you, it's more a question, a favor I need from you, ENJOY every day, every second of this life, you already made it threw, the worst is gone, now it's just the path that goes up the hill before the beautiful landscape, before the fresh air, you just hang there and paddle a little harder, I promise you, I promise you that with a little team work of your mind, soul and body you'll be just fine. How do I know this? Because I need you and I can't make it without you, I need that one person that inspired me for the last 17 years, the one that taught me how to survive hard moments, to never give up, and to fight for what you want. Thanks to you I have an awesome father, and an awesome grandfather which if you in some sort of way know, please let him know I love him and I'm proud of him.

I tell you, now is time to give all you can, to apply this known term #YOLO, you have nothing to loose, you have friends and family that loves you and will never forget you, but for all of them, don't give up, make an effort, try to be yourself, be happy with who you are and what you have, because in the end that is what I've learnt from you, and it would be just wrong not to follow your own advises, wouldn't it?
