"Even today I got out of bed with great difficulty, the suffering is such that my heart struggles to bear it. Almost two years have passed and the possibility of hugging you again is fading day by day."
It was July 8, 2023 when Giacomo Solinas, then 39 years old, from Gonnesa, vanished into thin air: he had said he was headed to Costa Smeralda for a job. But he never arrived there and no further concrete news of him has been received. Since then, his mother, Maria Lidia Pistis, has never stopped searching. Appeals, hypotheses, hopes have followed one another. But now the flame is increasingly faint. And she turns virtually to her son.
"I don't believe that you can deliberately inflict so much pain on us for so long; if you haven't made yourself heard until now, you are obviously not in a position to do so. I can't imagine you happy and content somewhere "having fun". As a mother, I know you well enough to rule it out. And this scares me so much," the woman writes.
"I empathize with other mothers of missing boys who have been waiting for their son for decades. No, I am not strong enough to bear this suffering any longer. I hope that the place where you are is a place of peace," the woman confides, implying that her son may have made an extreme choice, but his own: "A place that you chose, not that someone else chose for you, because if that were the case the epilogue of your disappearance would be much more dramatic. Hoping that you can read, which I think is unlikely, I hug you. Never forget that a mother's love is the greatest there is, and the love I have for you is even greater." Signed: "Mom."
