Thank you for giving me the greatest gift of all-our son. I know he was the apple of your eye, your pride and joy. Rest peacefully knowing that I´ve got him. I will fulfill every obligation, make every dream come true, and supply every need he has.

You will forever be missed. You were an incredible father, and our son was truly blessed to have you. Your spirit will live on through him, and your love will never be forgotten.
