to become ambassador of BACI: stella.matutina @ tiscali.it
that will be here already changed the time and the clocks are one hour ahead, which will be a few lines in most thermometers on the external temperature is rising, which will be in our little apartment there are dozens of posters that have started to report the account down the date of our return in Italy, in short, the air seems different.
I think I see the sun, the sky is open. The streets are lit and all of a sudden it's as if I felt free. As in a film when the actor walks among the people, smiles and moves as if it were invisible to others. I feel excited to find my land.
few months ago, the concern of the arrival in America, the fear of the unknown, the tension for what we had to deal with and once landed, the four of us in the back seat of a car, the eyes of us parents full of tears, narrow hands and prayer to Mary in chorus: maybe it is was the very first time we prayed together all four, looking in the eyes and loud.
Dad Philip, as always, keep it all closed in the heart: the pain, joy and worry.
Life is like this: Sometimes a moment, sometimes more, sometimes travels alone, sometimes needs a boost. But full. A few days ago, Gloria said, "Mom, do not think it was all easy for me. In New York there were so many emotions because I learned many things, but I also suffered so much pain. Luckily I passed." Already love, luck that have passed and you have learned in six years much more than what you imagine.
Sophia hand is in his walker in the hallway of stable behind the therapist, and a short distance in front of her, I encourage her to "Come on Sophia, come to Mama. ... Feel relaxed .... . from Sophia, move your legs .... come to mama, I'll wait. "
You try and try again as if in thought already ran into my arms, but we remain far apart, each in its place. The trembling chin, then broke out crying because he realizes that his legs still are not moving as they should and my voice is breaking, even for me, for crying swallowed.
The therapist becomes strong and reassuring Sophia: "Sophia're good, you're doing well, it takes patience. You have made many advances, it takes more time. "She had to learn so much, is no longer just a game of his life.
And then, as it has done, wanting everything she does and her little sister Gloria , also would like you on crutches and we give them to him. invent an exercise to control the movement of the head using the crutches Gloria, just for her, coming back to smile and hope to make it . This time it is to encourage Gloria " Come on Sophia, you're very good. Good love, good. "Back on the walker and my legs out again.
And for us it is still reason to celebrate with a nice lunch Made in Italy!!
