This Wednesday, October 30, Diego Maradona would have turned 64 years old. In this context, his fans shared images and videos of their idol, reaffirming the eternal love they feel for him. Among the publications to pay tribute to him, his daughter Gianinna stood out who, through an emotional letter, not only alluded to his role as a former soccer player, but also that of a father and grandfather.
“Today I can only celebrate your life in mine. There is not a day that I do not thank you for being my dad, but today, above all, I want to thank you for your excessive, unconditional and unlimited love; for your listening, your hugs, for being my faithful friend, my accomplice, my best dance partner. “Your laugh is mine forever, dad!” started Dalma Maradona’s sister, who added to the message a series of photos from her childhood with her father playing ball on what appears to be a soccer field.
“Thank you for teaching me the fundamentals of living with my feet on the ground, thank you for teaching me that one can achieve everything one really dreams of. Thank you for teaching me to be loyal, to forgive, but to never forget,” said Claudia Villafañe’s daughter, in another part of her publication. And he continued: “Thank you for opening the way for me from there, I hug you from here until we meet again! Light of my eyes, my eternal lighthouse, I celebrate you with all my love, I honor you and thank you! Cute Babu, thank you for everything, therefore, for them. “I carry you with me forever, I see you in my dreams.”
As a finishing touch, he closed: “I steal your three wishes and I ask them strongly: Justice for you, that the truth comes to light and that all those who participated pay so that that shitty day exists,” he added in reference to November 25, 2020, the date on which Diez died.
To accompany her words, Gianinna chose two photos from her childhood playing ball with her father
This was not the only gesture of love that Gianinna had on this special date. Hours before, he posted a photo in his stories along with the rest of his family. There he was seen with his mother Claudia Villafañe, his older sister, Dalma, and Diego Maradona. “This love is forever. Thank you for them, thank you for everything. We love you, Pa!” He also made clear his pain at the loss of his father, whom he referred to with a particular nickname: “Happy your day, Martian. “I miss you more every day.”
At the same time, Dalma also dedicated a post to him. He did it hand in hand with his youngest daughter, Azul, wearing a t-shirt with the image of his grandfather. With an open heart, he commented: “Today I write to you as I did when I brought you letters to the rallies telling you everything that was happening. Happy birthday, dad. Azul chooses to go for a walk with your shirt. “He never wants to take it off.”
