Ancona, September 19, 2026 – “My son, I saw you suffer when you didn’t feel understood or valued. I saw your sadness, your struggle, and all the times you had to fight to make others understand the beauty of your qualities. But you, despite the pain, did not give up”. This is how the post published the other evening by Silvia Fattorini, city councilor of “Ancona Protagonista X Silvetti” (center-right) on her social page begins. A thought that came out spontaneously, but at the same time considered, words that aroused great attention, emotion, and were therefore much appreciated, to the point of receiving many ‘likes’ and comments.
The difficult moment of a special son
A thought dedicated to the special son in a particular moment: “We have closed a long difficult period for him, for me, and for our whole family – explains the majority councilor to Carlino –. A page that now belongs to the past and that has deeply affected all of us. The post is precisely the result of this reflection.” The words used in her post take your breath away: “I saw you find within yourself an immense strength – writes Fattorini addressing her son – the strength to change schools, to start over and to move forward even when everything seemed too difficult. I am immensely proud of you. Not only for the results you have achieved, but for every tear, every obstacle, and every step forward. I am proud of the courage with which you chose not to let yourself be extinguished».
“There is nothing wrong with you”
“Never forget it, my love: if someone has not been able to understand you, it does not mean that there is something wrong with you. It only means that they did not know how to truly look at you, listen to you with their heart, and recognize the wonder you carry inside. Keep believing in yourself, standing up for yourself, and walking with your head held high. I will always be by your side, ready to support you and remind you every time you need it. When the road seems difficult, remember that you will never have to walk it alone because I will believe in you even on the days when you struggle to do so yourself. Those who have not been able to understand you may have hurt you, but they will never be able to extinguish the light you have inside. That light will continue to guide you toward everything you deserve. I will always be here, with you and for you, proud to call you my son. All this applies to me as well.”
Among the comments on the post published Thursday evening is also that of the mayor, Daniele Silvetti: “My Silvia, you are a woman capable of anything, but today you have surpassed yourself with these words. I love you.”
