“Today, four months without you. Without a doubt, it hurts just as much and even more than the first day. “My heart does not understand that you are not going to come back, that you are not going to see our children grow up, that that day you left for the airport, you gave each of us a kiss and it was our last kiss,” he wrote.

Likewise, he assured that, if he could change things, he would do so. “I wish you had never played that game, I wish I hadn’t brought my birth early so you could travel. And, although no one knows if it would have happened the same or not, It is inevitable for me to give things a thousand thoughts and want to change everything, Juanma.”

Selena also regretted that her husband could not see their children grow up or live the moments they enjoyed so much together. “I’ll trade your place for mine. You deserve to be here. Seeing our children, laughing, playing a game, roasting your parents… You loved this life, and “It’s so unfair how it was taken from you,” express.

In the same way, he emphasized that he will always be his great love, his warrior and that the only thing “I wish is that, wherever you are, you are at peace and know that I love you today, tomorrow and always. Until we meet again.”
