After being honored to the Samba School parade PortalIn Marquês de Sapucí and the launch of the documentary Nascent Bituca MiltonIn the Globeplay programming, Augustus noticed worrying concerns in his father’s behavior. Milton had little appetite, a frequently fixed look at a single point and an unusual oblivion.

The main strangeness, however, was the constant repetition of the stories. Known for having spent hours telling several passages of his vast trajectory, the artist started returning to the same subjects in a few minutes.

According to the report of PiauíIn April Milton underwent a series of clinical tests to evaluate his cognitive functions, such as attention, calculation, spatial orientation and language ability.

Read the complete declaration issued by Augustus Nascimento, son of Milton Nassence

“At the end of last year, I started to notice some different behaviors of my father, but nothing that was alarming. Since then, we have given life to life normally, even if with an always existing concern, but with him who has received numerous honors, who had a life every little one, and the small activities, and small activities, the little ones, the little ones, the singing, the singing, the singing, the singing, the song for the fact of making a small life.

We rolled about 4,000 km, I always guided with him on my side of Co -Pilot and choosing the songs – just as we have always done our good trips all over the world. Somehow, I knew that journey would be a farewell to those moments.

During his limits, we had a lot of fun and when we came back, he just said he had been the best journey of his life. A few days after the return, we recorded a campaign for the Father’s Day together and the next day he looked at me and said: yesterday he was fucked, right?! Like the beautiful owl, always enhancing all the moments and results we have had jointly.

A week later, I was in Teresina for work and I had to go back, because he wasn’t cool and he had to go to the hospital. It was a dehydration, already the result of the difficulty that had to hydrate and feed. From now on, we entered a Russian mountain and absolutely everything changed very quickly: then the hard diagnosis of dementia came. Since then our dialogues have been mostly silent or a little confused. My father calls me and tries to talk to me, but he cannot always express himself.

The numerous calls every time I travel to work, it no longer exists, not even curiosity for a good gossip of life, or waiting anxiously every time I go home when I was waiting for a shirt with our photo or crossed curiosity to ask myself all over the world at the shifts of Jiu-Jitsu’s training.

It was a daily battle, intense pain and a huge emptiness in the chest, because in some way my best friend is slowly leaving me. Sometimes, while watching television with him, in the middle of silence, he pulls and holds my hand. It was also common for him to accept only to make some meals, when they are there encouraging it … I think these were his ways to tell me what sometimes was not able to express through words

I tried to restore all the good, love, care and affection, giving maximum dignity and comfort that it can and deserves to have at this moment. From the moment the universe has put us on the other side, we are inseparable and invincible and we will follow until we are together in this life. This is, together with the article made respectfully by dear João Batista Jr., in the magazine PiauíThe only pronunciation that I will make on this topic. I ask for respect and compassion for everyone in this delicate moment. I love you and I will always love, dad. “
