«A part of us died with him», does not give peace Andrea Melis, the father of Roberto, the baby of just two months who died in his arms , Wednesday evening, in via Nazionale in Quartucciu, a few steps from the historic ice cream parlor of the city.

"I can't rest, he flew away so soon, why?" asks the thirty-five year old as if he wanted to find an answer in a tragedy that destroyed his family in a few minutes. " We're waiting for them to tell us how our child died , they don't let us know anything, the hours go by and it seems like an infinite time to us."

Until Wednesday evening, the Melis family lived in via Serpeddì, in the historic center of Quartuccese. "We can't go back to that house, we're going to live in Seulo, the town of Loredana, the mother is destroyed, the older little sister has understood everything, she knows that Roberto has flown to heaven, the little one, on the other hand, fortunately has not realized this misfortune that has struck us".

«My three jewels», as mother Loredana called her children on Facebook. Roberto, who would have turned two months old on Monday, was the little prince of the house. "We were organizing the party for his christening", Papa Roberto recounts, "Sunday 6 August he would have received the sacrament, but there will be no party".

Although enveloped in his immense pain, Andrea finds the time to thank all the people who have been close to his family in these days, infinite for them. "We had a great show of affection that made us feel less alone, but it will be hard to go on without him."
