Thank you for letting us be part of this incredible journey, for all the moments and for giving us the greatest joy of our lives.
You were, you are, and you always will be the greatest.
Rest now, captain. Youโve earned it.
Lionel Messiโs letter for his father. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
Dad, I still canโt believe that youโve gone. I donโt fall, or rather, I donโt want to fall. Itโs very hard for me to imagine that Iโm not going to see you anymore, that weโre not going to talk anymore. I know you were suffering and that itโs for the best, but you left too soon. We still had a lot left to enjoy together.
You asked me so much to play in the last World Cup, and it was in the days just before it started that you got the worst. It was the first time you werenโt going to be at a tournament, but Mom told me that you were going to get better and that youโd be well enough to travel. I told you we were going to reach the final so you could travel.
Every time a match ended I waited for and missed your message. Thatโs when I realized the situation was really bad. Even so, I didnโt stop thinking about going as far as possible, to buy you time and so you could see a match. We reached the final and you couldnโt be there.
I wanted to win it to bring it to you and show you a new one. I couldnโt; my legs wouldnโt give any more. This time I tried to go against my body, but I couldnโt. I never managed to feel good.
When I arrived you thought we had lost the final on penalties. We couldnโt talk about any of everything that happened. You couldnโt enjoy anything.
We werenโt champions, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every single match. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play it.
Iโm telling you this because it was the only thing we couldnโt talk about, since you already know everything else. We talked every day and saw each other whenever we could, given my commitments.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
I donโt know what Iโm going to do without you, I donโt know how to go on. I only played football and now I have quite a few doubts about whether Iโll keep doing it for much longer.
You were by my side from the beginning; there was so little left until the end. Why couldnโt you hold on that little bit more so we could finish together?
I know your happiness was seeing your family well, your wife, your children, and above all, without the others finding out, watching me playโฆ
It was always like that since I was little. You would take me to all the training sessions as soon as you got home from work. For many of them Mum took me because you were working.
Obviously you never missed a single match. How you suffered watching me and how you enjoyed it, even though you never gave me many compliments.
You were dad, friend and representative.
You were always the person you needed to be in every moment and you never got anything wrong. Beyond a few reproaches or arguments, you were always right. In the end it always turned out the way you said.
Iโm going to miss you a lot, but youโll always be present, and especially in the upbringing of my children, because I teach them and raise them the way you both did with me.
Rest in peace and look after us from above the way you did down here. Thank you for everything.
I love you, Dad. โค๏ธ
