Just Because

Πολλοί ειναι αύτοι που λένε .. εντάξει φτάνει πέθανε πάει..
Το καταλαμβάινουμε απόλυτα .
Δέν μας σταματά όμως από το να θαύμαζουμε το ταλέντο του !!
Τα έκανε όλα τέλεια ... δέν νομίζω να υπάρχει έστω και ένας που να μπόρει να τον ξεπεράσει..

Δείτε και τα βραβεία που πήρε στη ζωή του ..... αν δέν κουραστείτε από το πόσα πολλά είναι !!!
