In 2013, Joรฃo Canceloโs mother Filomena was killed in a tragic car accident. ๐ฅบ
Cancelo, who was 18 years old, and his younger brother, who was only 8, survived the crash.
โIt was a matter of milliseconds that changed my life forever,โ he told Alta Definiรงรฃo.
โI remember some things. I remember my motherโs final scream. I remember my brother crying โ he was still just a child, 8 years old.โ
โI tried to lift the car to get my mother out from underneath it, but I couldnโt. I just couldnโt.โ
โEverything was so dark. We were off the highway, down an embankment. I tried with all my strength to lift the car, but it was impossible. Lifting a car is simply impossible.โ
Sending love and strength to you, Joรฃo โค๏ธ๐
