In a touching post Carlotta Ferlito thanks her mother for the unconditional love and the values she passed on to her, “Hello mum Roby”.
Moment of deep sadness for Carlotta Ferlito. The athlete is mourning the loss of his mother, who succumbed to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) after a long battle. The gymnastics champion wanted to share her pain with her followers through a touching post on Instagram, in which she retraces the memorable or simply tender moments of life with her beloved mother Roberta, affectionately nicknamed “mamma Roby” .
The void you leave is unbridgeable mom, and no one will ever be able to fill it. As strange as it may sound, we are relieved that your pain is over, because you didn’t deserve even an ounce of it.
The special bond between mother and daughter is thus broken by one illness which leaves no escape. Carlotta Ferlito talks about the courage and tenacity with which her mother faced ALS, a terrible disease that progressively paralyzed her voluntary muscles. “Now our pain continues,” the gymnast continues, “but I will live it every day for you too, mom, I promise!”. These are words that cause pain in any reader. A fight like this, lost like this, losing the mother, leaves room only for her mourning.
There promise by Carlotta Ferlito is to always carry her mother with her in her memories, in her adventures and in every aspect of her life, from successes to failures. “I jealously guard your life lessons,” she confesses, “because even if they sometimes annoyed me, you were always right, mom, always.” A final farewell, that of the athlete, full of love, in a very emotionally tiring moment.
In the post, Carlotta Ferlito expresses all of hers gratitude to the mother for the unconditional love and values he passed on to her. “I hope I made you proud,” she writes. “If I leave a splendid and united family it is only thanks to you”. The farewell ends with a poignant promise:
You will always be my guardian angel. I hope that the hole in my chest will soon transform into your presence that accompanies me on this crazy and often cruel journey we call life. I love you, bye mom Roby.
ALS, the disease we mentioned, is a terrible disease that affects the nervous system. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord, causing loss of control of voluntary muscles. As the disease progresses, patients lose the ability to walk, talk, eat and breathe independently. The progression reaches the death of the person who suffers from it.
