Daughter of Anderson Leonardo, from Molejo, Alessa Cristyne regretted not having “dedicated herself more” to her father, who died while undergoing treatment for cancer in the inguinal region last Friday, the 26th. But this decision was for a cause bigger and the singer understood. Alessa is eight months pregnant with the artist’s first granddaughter and shared this whirlwind of feelings with her followers by writing a letter to her father as if written for the baby she is expecting.

“Hi grandpa, mom always talks about how much I was desired by you. The other day, she told me the story of when you met my dad and right away you made the following request: ‘It’s your mission to give me a grandson. ‘. She also told me that it was a very funny day. It made me understand that a family was already being born there. The love and spontaneity overflowed so much that I was here and I was born with a lot of love in the midst of your treatment. She also said that she was very upset at not being able to accompany you and dedicate herself even more to this process. But you were so happy and radiant with my arrival that you understood why”, says an excerpt from Alessa’s text.

The artist’s daughter also recalled Anderson Leonardo’s reaction, still in the hospital, when he found out about the pregnancy and was promoted to “grandpa Leopardo”, the affectionate nickname they created.
“I also found out that it was you who revealed that I was Maria Alice, but you didn’t want to know if I was a girl or a boy, because your biggest dream was being fulfilled. Grandpa, it was true that you took a little courage to be able to take care of my mom and me? My mom told me this in a trembling voice. I think at some point I heard her whispering, saying that you grew up and became Grandpa Leopard. Did you know, Grandpa, that I loved spending time with you? I remember listening to you singing some songs to me in the early hours of the morning while mom was stuffing herself with chips, I just listened to your voice! when he talked to me with his unmistakable voice and I always moved to let you know how much I loved it,” he wrote.
Alessa also asked her father to continue protecting them wherever he is.
“Thank you, grandpa, for having had the opportunity to live with you for almost eight months. It wasn’t long before I was born, and when that happens, mom and dad will tell me more stories about you. I just don’t know if you’ll stay happy when dad takes me to the Botafogo game, because you wanted to take me to see Flamengo play”.
