Maribel added: ‘Sometimes I have the illusion [of] that I’m going to find you in the hammock in the garden reading a book and seeing your favorite tree, or that I’m going to find you in the hammock in the garden reading a book and seeing your favorite tree, or that I’m going to find you in the hammock in the garden living room room singing and playing guitar.’

“Everything reminds me of you, especially when I look into your lover’s eyes [son] José Julián and see in them a small piece of your soul. Your light brightens up my days, cool daddy.’

“Work helps me not to think too much, but sometimes I cry in the midst of the love so many people have given me. One day at a time. From this earthly plane I love you more than ever and I raise prayers, blessings and sighs to heaven,” she concluded the note.
