I feel very bad, sad and devastated on the bedroom floor due to the circumstances, I don't even know where to begin... I still can't believe what's happening and the truth is I never imagined I would write this one day.

Life didn't give me the opportunity to meet you, however I was fortunate to meet you from a distance; about 12 years ago I saw you for the first time and I started listening to a couple of your songs, but it wasn't until 3 years later that all the magic happened, and little by little you won my love, respect and total admiration, I never thought I would love someone so much without knowing them. As the months went by I learned to recognize your voice, you had an extraordinary voice and lately you had made songs with very high notes, and I don't understand how it is that you had never used it in that way before being so powerful to the level of making your skin crawl. Through your music, videos, photographs, messages, posts and interviews I got to know you a little and I realized that you were a great human being full of many qualities, virtues and skills, that like everyone else you made some mistakes but you tried to be a better man.

I would have loved to have you as a brother, sometimes I felt jealous of your sisters because they had you and I didn't. You should know that I always had you on a pedestal, you had a very pretty look and your smile was my sunshine every day. God knows how many times I asked him for you, although I think they weren't enough. I would have loved to be part of your life just as you were part of mine.

I don't know exactly how things work after death, but what I am sure of is that eventually I will also die and then I will be able to see you at last; before I wanted to live forever, but now I don't, because I have a couple of reasons for not staying. I hope that in the next life destiny will give me the honor of meeting you so I can be everything I couldn't be in this one. Maybe it's time to start paying more attention to reincarnation.

I always tell myself that God does everything for a reason, so maybe he needed an angel by his side, although to be honest, we needed you more here than he did there. But now heaven is happy because it has received the brightest star that will illuminate every night and of course from today all the sunrises, sunsets and evenings will be more beautiful because you are there; today we all dress up, some to say goodbye to you and others to welcome you, the time has come for you to delight everyone up there with a magnificent concert.

Maybe in another universe things are different, maybe there we do know each other, maybe we are great friends, and it may be that happiness is complete. I would like to think that all this is a lie and false, or that you will take a long vacation, or that you will sleep for several decades and that is why I will not hear from you for a long time. God willing this will be a nightmare and I will wake up as soon as possible. This was always one of my biggest fears and I swear that all I want (for Christmas) is for you to come back.

This concludes a happy, great and amazing stage of my life and I fear that I will have to live knowing that I was never able to meet you, that I don't have a single Polaroid with you and neither your autograph; I will be left with the desire to do many things with you, by and for you.

You leave a huge void in my heart, one that no one will ever be able to fill, it will be hard for me to process the fact that you're gone, of course it will hurt me for the rest of my life, and I can assure you that you're taking a big part of me with you that will never come back, and tragically I will have to start over.

Thank you for being part of my adolescence and youth and of an entire generation. Something that I will treasure for the rest of my years was hearing you sing at midnight while the moon lulled me to sleep. I also thank you because you were one of the reasons I had to do many things, you completely changed my world, although without you it will no longer be the same.

You were part of the eighth wonder and had a very big impact on this planet, you have definitely left a huge mark and terribly billions of people are suffering because one of the greats has left.

I am truly sorry for what happened to you, you did not deserve to leave in that way, neither at that time, nor in that place... however, I will remember you for how loving you were, friendly, affectionate, intelligent, wise, kind, nice, charismatic, empathetic, gentle, skilled, capable, generous, courteous, strong, talented, admirable, sensible, cordial, happy, brave, respectful, smiling, chivalrous, attentive, noble, cheerful, persevering, dedicated, understanding and disciplined. Now everything will remind me of you, especially the clouds, the rainbows, the wind, the sea, the trees, the flowers and the mountains because I feel that is where I will be able to find you.

Much of what is written here I told you in life, although I think you never noticed it, but there is also much that I did not tell you and it was because I thought there would be more time, I was wrong... now wherever you are I hope you already know about me. There is so much I would like to tell you, so much that it is very difficult for me to put it all here.

Right now I would like to shake your hand, hug you and give you a kiss. I wish you peace, tranquility, happiness, light, eternal rest and may God receive you in His Holy Glory.

My condolences to your family, friends, girlfriend and to all your fans who truly loved you. With teardrops in my eyes I say goodbye to you, I will never forget you because you will always have a very special place in my heart, I will miss you like you have no idea, I love you with all my soul. Fly high and rest in peace.

The First Industrial Revolution, c. 1760 - 1840

An illustration depicting the First Industrial Revolution - a time of technological and scientific innovation that led to the rapid industrialization and urbanization of Europe and North America's agricultural economies (the term Industrial Revolution was initially coined in French but became popular through the writings of the English historian Arnold Toynbee describing the British economic development between about 1760 and 1840). Once crafted by hand, goods were mass-produced in mechanized factories driven by the introduction of new machines and techniques, most notably in textiles, metallurgy, and the utilization of steam power. At the turn of the 1840s, as the early innovations matured, an economic recession slowed the progress rate. However, inventions developed late in the period, such as improved transportation, iron smelting, and electricity and communication (the telegraph), set the base for future industrial and societal development.
