“I spent more or less 150 days disposing and cataloging everything that was there”
A black and white photo in which his parents kiss while they are dancing. Paolo Kessisoglu published this image on his Instagram profile yesterday, Tuesday 2 May. He did it to remember his mum and dad, who passed away in a few months. And he dedicated moving words to them.
Half of the “Luca e Paolo” duo with Luca Bizzarri started like this. “These are my parents. Within months of each other they said goodbye to me. I spent more or less 150 days disposing and cataloging (thanks for giving me a sister to share the experience with) everything that was there. All that remained of a life, or rather two».
And then he delved into his state of mind. “Strange things happen when behind you you no longer have a wall to lean on. I realized that my attention during the work went more to photos and documents that concerned their lives as people, not as parents. I found hundreds of love letters sent from the barracks where dad did his military service (forgive me dad if I couldn’t resist reading some excerpts), photographs from boyfriends, travel documents».
Paolo Kessisoglu and that “immense sense of gratitude”
The actor’s exciting post continues with a reflection on being a child. «I discovered an unknown side, infinite sweetness, unknown dreams, passions that time and the role of educators had faded. I felt a renewed esteem blossom in me and an immense sense of gratitude to those who gave me life and set an example. To me son, a role that alas I can no longer exercise, I say that I would have loved to know much more about those two people, their dreams, expectations, renunciations and passions that I may have never understood”.
And he concluded by launching an invitation. As sincere as this post of yours. «To anyone, what child may still be, I say don’t forget that parents are first and foremost men. Thanks to mum and dad, thanks to Graziella and Pietro».
