• My family is my life

I'm considered one of the most important personalities in what concerns to Democracy and Human Rights fight. The truth is that I wouldn't get to what I am today without the support and help of a big and caring family!
They were with me in every little, but marking moment of my life. I want to express here my gratitude for all they've done for me. My impossibility of being present in some of their important moments because of my political life, brought me some sorrow. I couldn't, for example, be present in my son's funeral because I was in jail.
I'm sorry for all those little fails, but I'm glad I can now say to the world that I have the best family I could have. I had 3 wives and 5 children, but only two of them are still alive. This is a small tribute to all of them, here or not, close or far away. This family made me the man I am today, and this is the way I thank them for all that. I'm a big man, but without this shinning stars encouraging me, I would be just one more lonely black hole.

  1. Family is always the basis of our life. It's an important pillar that holds us in our worst moments. People tend to think about someone as an isolsted point, but the truth is that behind a person is always its family. And of course, big men are no exception :)
    Congratulations for this great family you've built!

  2. Our family is our support throughout our lives. Sometimes it is what gives us further disappointments and sorrows. But we always want to please our family and make her feel proud of us. We can not live without her, because she is like water, something essential to our lives. Our families define us as people we are. Am I right or not, Mandela?

  4. As Diogo said family is the most important thing of our lives. They're not only our family but our best friends because they always support us and stay with every single moment, good or bad. It's a pitty that sometimes we heard about families that don't talk to each other. Thanks god I have a great family! =)
