Leo Di Clemente was born on the 27th of January 2003
and died the following day. But what an impact he had,
and still does have to this day. He lived a brave, meaningful
and special life. He touched people, the vast
majority of whom never even got to meet him. Some
have said that he changed and inspired them. Others
feel that his short life and early death have taught them
something. As for his parents, through all the pain and
suffering caused by the loss of their first child, they
have somehow managed to believe that life is still
worth living, that the good memories will outlive the
bad and that grief is not forever but love is.
 
Leo’s father, Mario, has spent the year since his son’s
birth and death writing about his feelings, looking back
in pain but also forward in hope. The result? Living
With Leo. "This is a book", he tells us, "about Leonardo
Di Clemente and my life with him. For if in one very
obvious way I am without Leo, in so many others we
will be with each other forever."
