My son, Alex,
I want to dedicate these words to you from the bottom of my heart. You are, without a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to me. From when you were very little, your mom and I understood that your path would be different—filled with big challenges. We have worked hard to support you, seeking therapies and tools, but I know that the one who has always fought the hardest is you. Every step you take, no matter how small it may seem, is a huge victory.
I know your day-to-day life isn’t easy. You go to school like other kids, but when you get home, you can’t always rest the way you’d like. You have to keep working, doing your therapies, studying, pushing yourself over and over again. Many times you have to sacrifice that rest you truly deserve, and I know that’s tough. But I also know that all that effort has a purpose: preparing you for a better future, so that every day you become stronger, more independent, and more capable.
This weekend, I lived a moment I will never forget. Seeing you help me install the ladder rack on the truck—working together as father and son—meant so much to me. For many, it might seem like a simple thing, but for me, it was huge. That rack we installed together helps me work better, grow my business, and keep fighting for our future. And knowing you were there with me, contributing, accomplishing something by my side, filled me with pride in a way I can’t explain.
You are my inspiration. Thanks to you, I’ve found strength to work harder, to grow as a person, and to build my company. Everything I do, I do thinking of you—of giving you a better future, so that one day you can be independent, strong, intelligent, brave, humble, and a person everyone admires and loves.
I want you to keep pushing forward—keep going—not for me, but for yourself. My greatest wish in life is to see you well, to see you happy, and to know you’ll be ready for the future. Even if sometimes I can’t spend as much time with you as I’d like because of work, every single thing I do is out of love for you. Thank you for helping me, for sharing that moment with me, for being who you are. I love you with all my heart, my son.
