Full letter:

10 years without you dear Dad!

In these years life has brought me very happy moments, which would have given great happiness, as well as difficult moments, where I have lacked your strength and courage. When I became a father and first took little Geraldine in my arms, I saw you and my mom inside my heart! How I wish I had you near those moments! She would be your greatest joy, she is so dear!

10 years ago we were transported to that other world where we all meet one day, and I pray that you and your mom will be in eternal peace!

Dad, when you close your eyes and extinguish our soul, it was your Albanians who gave us comfort, filled us with love in those so painful days. They came from all lands to accompany and honor you, the man they believed in, their King. You managed to unite many hearts, bring hope in very difficult times, gained the respect and trust of many people. When the supporters and lovers of the Royal Family remember you, they talk about a man with a strong character, wisdom and the most valuable Albanian values. I would love to be like you, to inspire that faith and hope, as you have inherited a lot of love for this country, my dear father! The last time we saw your eyes open and in tears was November 28, when you looked for the flag in the window of the hospital room. That flag you loved so much! We miss you so much,
