I did not know I knew, but did not have the exact notion of grandeur that my father represented. There is, the staff there. Now it's ball to the front and try to be 10% of what it was. I think it's very difficult. Always helped everyone, always with ashamed to ask something to someone. That was my father. I never fought, I never botou of punishment. When I created this way. What remains is what he has left. Then try to plant in front, to try to be always remembered. "
