Apesar de que ha pasado un año, aun duele como esa tarde que se fue padre. Lo amamos y lo extrañamos demasiado. Siga descansando y cuidandonos desde el cielo. RIP Captain Candelrio Contreras.

Aunque su sangre no corria en mis venas, nunca penso dos veces en llamarme su hija. Ningun otro padre pudo haber hecho mejor. Gracias por ser el mejor padre del mundo. Se le ama y se le extrana profundamente. Descnse en paz mi querido viejo. Papa.
