There is no more heartbreaking moment for a father than the death of his son and although you keep it in mind every day and every moment of your life, the dates make you feel even more if there is a lack of it.
And the small tribute that Mayte Garsal made to her little Santi, who died two years ago due to childhood cancer, is a good example of this.
On the occasion of what would have been his seventh birthday with his two triplets, the wife of former soccer player Santiago Cañizares, wanted to dedicate some nice words:
“HAPPY TRILLIS BIRTHDAY !!! 7 years old full of many experiences, great enthusiasm, great hope and above all with great desire to continue living for you, our angel. Today we will blow candles thanking life for having shared few, but very intense years.
We love you #santicampeon We will make you feel proud of us always, because we will see with your eyes, we will live as you only did and we will smile in the face of adversity. Our wish: that you who follow us … do the same … enjoy every minute of life, no matter how ugly it may be … because there is always light at the end of the tunnel .
Always in their hearts
After months of fighting, the disease won the battle against little Santi, barely 5 years old. His father, former goalkeeper Santiago Cañizares announced it on social networks, undoubtedly in the hardest tweet a father can write.
My son Santi has passed away.
I think I have to be the one to tell you about it, in gratitude for all the support and affection that I have received from you.
He has left surrounded by peace, and having understood his mission in these five years that he has accompanied us. # Santicampeon– SANTIAGO CAÑIZARES 💯 (@santicanizares) March 23, 2018
Now, when two years have not yet passed, his wife congratulates their daughters with some photos of the triplets, including their #santicampeon, the hashtag that both he and her husband use every time they talk about their little one.

Since Santi became ill, his parents have not stopped visualizing childhood cancer and supporting children and families who go through this difficult path. His words bet because “pain is a life learning” , they are a message of hope for those parents who are going through the same thing, so that they do not stop always teaching their children a smile.
And they continue to do so every day, with publications as beautiful and full of love as the one Mayte has shared on her Instagram account on the occasion of a visit to La Fé hospital last Christmas, and which are intended to be a support for the children who fight against cancer and their families. Without a doubt, Santiago Cañizares and Mayte are a wonderful mirror to reflect on.
“BACK TO KM0. Yesterday I returned to that vulnerable place, where it returns you to the starting box. That place that taught me that life is hard, but that it is worth living. I could see myself reflected almost two years ago, in the look of mothers in search of comfort and hope , in the look of those children who are a pure lesson in life. “
“I have to thank my daughter Sofía, because once again she showed me what her brother Santi taught her a brave spirit, sensitivity and a noble heart. Going with her by the hand was something magical. I know that you are ready for every princess. To you @ Farmaciafuensanta24h, thank you for coming with so much enthusiasm and with your little gifts, for having generated so many smiles in those angels. And to you my warriors, keep on being this brave because you are already invincible “.
