These are the words of a child for her “daddy”. Anouchka Delon, daughter of Alain Delon, revealed this Sunday in an Instagram post the four-page text that she read during his funeral on August 24 in her property in Douchy (Loiret), while November 8 will mark the first posthumous birthday of the famous actor. “You are a man of few words, and here it is I who struggle to find mine,” she writes at the beginning, promising to “try to keep it short” and “good.”
“You often say that you owe everything to your audience, that it is they who made you. As you loved him, as he still loves you, also notes Anouchka Delon. Today, there in this place that I feared so much, I tell myself that it is I who owe you everything, that it is you who made me. » “How I wish you would prove us wrong once again, that you would prove to us your immortality. Immortal, you will remain in the hearts of people, of those who love you, in mine,” continues the actor’s only daughter.
“Under the leaves of a Douchy oak, on the highest branch a nightingale sang. Sing nightingale, sing. You who have a cheerful heart, you have the heart to live, I have it to cry. Dad, I've loved you for a long time. I will never, never forget you…” says Anouchka Delon.
Alfred de Musset as epitaph
The actor's daughter also revealed the epitaph – the inscription on the tomb – of her father. This is a quote from the 19th century poet Alfred de Musset: “I have often suffered, I have made mistakes sometimes, but I have loved. It is I who lived, and not an artificial being created by my pride and my boredom.” “This phrase from Musset is your favorite, you wanted it as an epitaph. This day has finally arrived, for what your heart so desired: your first night of tranquility,” explains Anouchka Delon.
In the caption of these photos, Anouchka Delon expresses her “heartache at the idea of not being able to call” her father “at midnight on the next 8th”. “It hurts my heart not to hear your voice at midnight one on November 25 telling me: Happy Birthday my Love », she adds. “I'm not going to be able to give you a gift (…) in this case, I'll give one to your audience. You would have wanted it. »

Shortly after the death of her father on August 18 and his funeral on August 24, Anouchka Delon reacted simply: “Dad, I love you, dad,” in another Instagram publication. “I love you, you know, only you, you know. I can never… Never live without you,” she also wrote, repeating “I love you” several times.
On October 20, the eldest of three children Anthony Delon said he wanted the house in Douchy where Alain Delon lived to become a museum. “It was not one of his wishes that it not become a public place. We’ll see, but we are three children (…) I would like it to become a museum,” he said.
