This July 18 marks four years since the passing of El Dany, a significant loss for his family and loved ones, particularly for his young daughter Daniela, who was only three years old at the time.
A touching video and a heartfelt message on Daniela's Instagram, presumably written by her mother and El Dany's widow, Iraisel, once again moved all those who miss the reggaeton artist.
"Several 18ths have passed since you embarked on that path where all is peace and harmony. How much I wish, Dad, to have you here with me. Sometimes I think that if children truly had a magic wand of time, I would turn back the years for a few seconds to give you that last hug we missed and immortalize that moment in my heart forever," the message reads.
The phrases "I miss you" and "how much I need you, Dad" encapsulate the enduring sense of loss and yearning that time has not been able to diminish.
In her Instagram stories, Iraisel also shared a photo of the new grave of El Dany. She recently relocated his remains to a private chapel due to incidents at the Necrópolis de Colón and the noticeable deterioration of several graves.
Another person who remembered El Dany this Thursday was his music colleague Yomil Hidalgo. "Your departure hurts a lot; it's an insurmountable pain. Years will pass, and this love we feel for you will never fade," the singer wrote in a heartfelt post dedicated to El Dany on his Instagram.
