There is a father who does not forget and reiterates his love for his daughter, who passed away too soon, through gestures of solidarity in favor of the sick. But since he is a sportsman also through personal memorials such as the circumnavigation of the island of Carloforte by swimming which took place last week.
To understand what Corrado Sorrentino obstinately accomplishes, we need to go back to the days of passion and mourning but also of miracles.
Mind you, there are people who can catalyze love, respect, sympathy, closeness like Corrado Sorrentino and Rossana Pintus.
That's why when their little Amelia began to feel bad, one of those miracles happened that humanity is still able to give birth. All the love they have spread over the years has returned to them multiplied. Prayer groups scattered throughout our city, an intense and endless pilgrimage towards the resuscitation of the Brotzu hospital. Day and night. Night and day.
It was hoped and in the end hope was lost. While Amelia was fighting against a cowardly disease, and the doctors with her, Rossana held her hand without ever letting go, Corrado whispered the best words to her for hours and days without ever giving up.
And around them a world of family, friends, athletes, schoolmates, DJ nights, challenges and life.
We all prayed. But it wasn't enough.
Corrado and Rossana, in the end, approached the doctors and expressed what Amelia's will would have been, even though she was just 7 years old. Even if none of us will ever get a reason.
"You fought Amelia not to succumb and in the end, in leaving us, you decided that life would be reborn from your death, so that other children can return to their families."
This is what Corrado and Rossana said when they agreed to donate Amelia's organs.
