You didn’t have to witness the excruciating pain of your beloved brother Nicola for the immense tragedy that struck her family »wrote Rosanna, ideally addressing her mother, who recently passed away. «Do you remember Amanuel, that beautiful baby you were holding in your arms in so many photos I saw in his house? Well he, just him, at the age of 18 decided to leave for “the journey of no return” leaving his parents and all of us stunned to ask ourselves why» the post continues. « Luckily you’re not here, it would have been too much for you and your sensitivity. Mom, keep him in your arms like then and watch over all the defenseless kids that this society of ours has produced by forgetting about their fragile souls. Mom it’s not right, she’s not in the nature of things. I’m not a believer but I wish there was a God able to help this family. I miss you”.
