“We never really leave those we love, even far from Deutsche Bank Park, I will fulfill my new role, being the first supporter of this club that I love.

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes.

For those who love with their heart and soul, there is never goodbyes.

I spent the best year of my life with you, you are engraved in me.”
