You have left an unfillable void between us and only our prayers, addressed to the Lord, can partially heal our deep wounds.
I am sure that you will play among the angels, after all you were already an Angel, when you were among us.
Turn your gaze towards us from time to time and grant us the peace and serenity that you finally enjoy.
One day far away, we will reunite and make up for the time that was denied us but until then, I would like to believe that you are one of the many stars that shine and smile at night.
Hi Francesco, pure soul, have fun I love you (your Mamy)”.
