It was so serious that he had to be admitted to hospital.I had really wanted to go to the ceremony but I had to start thinking of cancelling the journey as I was afraid that my father would not make it and if I went I may not find him alive.

I decided to ask this favour from don Alvaro: that my father would be discharged before the date of my departure and that he would recover well. The truth is that my father was discharged just as I had requested and he was able to eat and walk, as this was his main problem. Thanks to Don Alvaro I was able to go to Madrid in peace.
