I want to start from here, from that of 11 March when he took the train to Verona in the early morning, I was happy and excited to see my friend Ayu. I walked the streets of the old town not knowing what had happened, then my phone started to go crazy: messages, calls and my mother tells me of a very very bad disaster. Tears flow from the sun and from that moment everything changes.

However I will not stop smiling, I want to maintain my freedom of thought and I intend to deal with adversity with courage.
