“You are my superhero”: Daniele Mondello remembers Gioele with a moving post on his birthday

January 16 Gioele Mondello he would have turned 5 years old. Instead, last August 3 he disappeared with his mother Viviana Parisi. The body of the woman and that of the child were subsequently found lifeless, in circumstances never fully clarified, in the countryside of Caronia, in the Messina area, respectively on 8 and 19 August. In addition to the pain of the loss of his son and partner, Daniele Mondello also carries the weight of the lack of a definitive answer on what happened on that day to his loved ones.

His Facebook page is full of family memories, of messages addressed to that beloved son. The last, the most painful, he posted on the child’s birthday. And it leaves you breathless. “Do you ever hope that that particular day will never come?” This is my case thinking of January 16th. On your birthday my son. Ever since you and mom are gone, this date has always scared me. Perhaps the fear of facing this moment in which instead of celebrating your birth and your growth I can limit myself to remembering you and sinking into the greatest sadness that I never thought I would feel “, writes the father, then adding deep words of great love : «You know Joel it is said that for every child the father, in most cases, is considered a superhero. Maybe it was like that for you too, but I can say that my superhero was you my son. You made me feel emotions that I didn’t think were possible or existent. With you I discovered the true joy of life, but above all the happiness of being a father. You are what changed me and made me see everything differently, with different eyes. Since I saw you for the first time I realized that the rest of my existence I would have dedicated to you and that I would have given all of myself for you. Help you grow, understand the world, in short, accompany you in every moment. What you don’t know is that, indirectly, you were doing the same things for me, guiding me along this path that is still unknown to me: that of the parent ».

In the sad and painful memory, the letter ends with a message of profound gratitude. That feeling which is the fruit of a profound reflection on the meaning of life and death. “The best gift that life has given me was having you my son. Now unfortunately I’m here to remind you and I can’t celebrate with you, but know that you live inside me. You and mom are my lifeblood, what still gives me the strength to face everything, day after day. Thanks for what you gave me, you are and will always remain the love of my life and my superhero. Happy birthday my son ».
