The singer dedicates a message filled with tenderness and precious memories, accompanied by beautiful photos from the past. She shows her eternal love and gratitude, recalling the profound impact she had on her life and career.
«Happy Mother’s Day! It’s been 23 years that I’ve been thinking of you, that you’ve been close to me without me being able to touch you. I know that I have to leave you alone, but it’s hard. There are so many things that I would like to tell you, to show you. I dream that you rock your grandchildren, Laylia and Rosalie, who perhaps wouldn’t have wanted to (that’s what teenagers are :)). Elena, Oli and Sisi would have taken lots of your hugs. You would have been a wonderful grandmother! Oh mom, if you knew how much I enjoy life for the two of us, a life filled with laughter, joy. Some people find me too intense, but they don’t know how fragile life is and that we have to enjoy it. I will live each day as if it were the last, it’s still a promise. The most beautiful gift that you have given us is this life filled with love and possibilities. I will be eternally grateful. Today I raise my voice to you to sing happy birthday mom. I love you, your daughter. Life has an end like a candle, but in my heart, memories remain lit.»
Melissa’s heartfelt words definitely touched the hearts of many fans, who commented in large numbers and thus helped make this tribute even more memorable.
