On August 1, 2009 the torch turned strongly by parents of Daniel Puccio, a victim of road, speed, nightlife.
An event that has just wanted to scream at the toll every year the people of Memphis and neighboring countries are charged on this road.
concentration in Piazza began to trickle, the boys, who were the protagonists of the event, slowly fill the space in front held their posters, the stiscioni. The white T-shirts bearing a picture of Daniel on the front and rear of the words "never again July 19." The small groups are now
crowd and the crowd has made a river. Torches wind like a snake in the tight and twisty stages that go from Memphis to Porto Palo. In silence, in prayer, everyone remember their fallen.
Occasionally the snake will stop, Father Mark recalls: "Here fell ....." says a name. Many swallow a few tears, a roar, like a round of applause to salute and remember. As in the way of the Cross, the event is repeated again and again. Whenever a major anxiety attacks us. Every time someone cries a little louder, drowning out the hiccups on the chest of those nearby.
I turn now in the sunset, with people quell'incedere seems even more serious, serious reflection across the river with torches, the parraco recommended silence, but there will need everyone digs inside himself to research an applicant an explanation for this madness. Everyone is looking for a reason.
you reach the junction, on a small hill on the roadside improvised a point to talk about.
Father Mark has words of great power, determined to attitudes, comfort to the family. The poignant moment when those who were appointed on that stage had lost their lives: Name, age and date of the accident. A long list, a bulletin of war.
Then it was time for a companion of Daniel, with the voice course by a great emotion, to claim the right to life right to the fun, what does not kill healthy one. announces attitudes are potentially dangerous to himself and his comrades.
time to act is the mother of Daniel, it seems, in speech, the mother of all those kids attending the event. He has sweet words of comfort for forgiveness, understanding for all, has harsh words towards the company that empties the youth of ideals of certainty, and replaces these values, the chimeras ephemeral and empty.
authorities present in large numbers have proved to be very sensitive to the problems identified in the field with this event. The Mayor of Memphis and nearby towns, in tricolor sash, have spoken on behalf of the common needs.
event came from the need for a partnership, an alliance between parents and children , to grow together identified. in a continuous dialogue, the reference values.
