Cristiano Ronaldo (30), turned to Facebook to pay tribute to his father, Dennis Aveiro, to mark the tenth anniversary of his death. The Portuguese misses his father and wanted to publish a touching quote with picture on his Facebook account.

It makes me a bit sad because if he could enjoy seeing me now, what I have achieved, that would be a highlight in his life...But I am sure that he watches over me from above," wrote Ronaldo overlapped with a photo that had him looking up to the stars.

It was on September 7, 2005 that Ronaldo lost his father. On that day the striker was focusing on a qualifying match for the 2006 World Cup with Portugal against Russia, it was actually Scolari that broke the news to him. The striker carried on regardless and decided to dedicate the game in memory of his father.
