TOI liked a blonde girl in Borgosesia in Borgosesia, with the clear efelids and very white teeth, named Laura. Obviously I never had the courage to tell him and to woo it. It is the well -known syndrome of the “I am not worthy of you”. And then, after the third exam, I had to change cities.
We wrote some letter: Then it was used like this. They were letters in which we talked about the most and the least, as in an today’s WhatsApp: I only remember that Laura had a very beautiful letters card, with a horse design that ran free. And I remember his father, a beautiful gentleman with a baio of more good -natured than intimating mustache.
I revised it last month. My schoolmates made me a surprise: they hired a minibus and came to Verbaniaon Lake Maggiore, to see the theatrical show taken from the book on the Bible. They became splendid fifty -eighths (the most splendid is obviously Laura).

Another minibus came back to me, who after school led us to ski at theAlpe di Merain Alta Valsesiaat the foot of the squad. Sweaters that sparks, sandwiches with cold cutlet wrapped in foil, frozen tracks, gruff masters, hot chocolate, at home in time to see Happy Days and prepare the lesson of the next day. Happy days, in fact.
Love wins
Laura gave me the drafts of the book he wrote, waiting for an publisher. A wave of emotion, a punch in the stomach. The dad with a mustache, which he was very close, left at 67 years of age. But he is not the protagonist.
Laura tells the love story with her husband, Federico, father of her two children, Francesco and Martina. The discovery of Parkinson’s. And the difficult, painful, yet extraordinary life next to a patient. I hope someone publishes it soon, because it is a story that puts the chillsand that many families are experiencing. From the premise: “If I take you by the hand and tremble with you, then I’m a little sick too.”
