Padre de mi corazón, mi amado "Papito". Quisiera tenerte frente a mí y poderte decir, cuanto tus cuatro hijos the recordamos en cada conversación. Yo no puedo recordarte pues solo tenía tres años pero te doy las gracias porque supistes escojer la mujer más maravillosa del mundo, para madre de tus hijos. Ella se encargo de cuidar de tus hijitos como tu lo hacias. Nos enseño a amarte y a honrarte como Padre. Aún nos llamamos como tú nos decias a cada uno, "Mi Negrita" Yiyi; "Mi Canito" Jorge; "Mi Batatita" Taty; y "Mi Gatita" Deddie.

Gracias por todo el amor que nos distes. Te recordaré y amaré siempre.

Tu bebé, tu Gatita,

Deddie
