R.I.P FP

Thank you for your gift
You gave the world your daughter
We honor your soul


Federico
Though I hardly knew you
I know of you
By the words your daughter spoke of you
And every action she takes
Demonstrating the qualities you helped to instill in her
And the desire in her core to make you proud

I know you
Through the brief and powerful conversation we shared
Across languages, hemispheres and generations
On the night before I married your daughter
I promised to take care of her
As you explained to me that she was your life
With conviction that transcended language

And now having witnessed
Your daughter's heart break
I promise to honor your life
And avenge your murder
By taking care of your daughter
And supporting her in her efforts
To make you proud
