Original Message in Italian
“Se vi dicessi che oggi è stato uno dei giorni più belli ed emozionanti della mia vita, mi credereste?”
“Dopo mesi, finalmente oggi, sono riuscito ad andare a trovare Brayan e i suoi meravigliosi genitori.”
“Ho conosciuto Brayan tramite il mio amico Mattia Villardita, alias Spiderman e il mio amico Pietro Morello, che lavorano nei reparti degli ospedali da anni, ed è per merito loro se oggi sono riuscito a realizzare questo mio sogno.”
“Per mesi ci siamo scritti su Instagram e su Whatsapp e per lui, amante dei super eroi, io sono diventato ovviamente il suo Hulk.”
“Più sentivo Brayan e avevo la possibilità di conoscerlo, anche se solo tramite un telefono, più mi rendevo conto che questo birbante è come se avesse aperto una porta chiusa da sempre, anzi, forse nemmeno pensavo esistesse dentro di me, che mi ha portato in una stanza piena di emozioni, talmente forti, che quasi non pensavo di poterle provare.”
“Brayan è riuscito, solo con il suo essere, a sconvolgermi da dentro e a farmi provare qualcosa che nessuno mai prima era risuscito nemmeno a toccare.”
“Più di una volta mi è capitato di mandare vocali alla sua mamma piangendo, senza nemmeno saperne il motivo, oppure mi succede di vedere una sua storia e ridere da solo nel mio studio, riuscendo a dimenticare tutto ciò che di bello o di brutto quella giornata mi sta regalando.”
“Per questo motivo, proprio perché Brayan nella mia vita è UNICO ed e riuscito a farmi scoprire una parte di me che non sapevo di avere (anche se ci speravo), mi è venuto spontaneo regalargli un oggetto che simboleggia il lavoro, il sacrificio e i sogni di una vita.
Oggi è uno dei giorni più belli della mia vita, ed e solo grazie a te Brayan.”
“Io per te ci sarò sempre.” – Andrea Presti
Message translated to English
“If I told you that today was one of the best and most exciting days of my life, would you believe me?”
“After months, finally got to visit Brayan and his wonderful parents today.”
“I met Brayan through my friend Mattia Villardita, aka Spiderman and my friend Pietro Morello, who have been working in the hospital departments for years and it is because of them that I was able to achieve this dream of mine today.”
“For months we wrote each other on Instagram and Whatsapp and for him, a superhero lover, I became his Hulk obviously.”
“The more I heard Brayan and had the chance to know him, even if only through a phone, the more I realized that this rascal is as if he had opened a door that was closed forever, actually, maybe I didn’t even think he existed inside me, that he pored tato in a room full of emotions, So strong, I almost didn’t think I’d be able to try them.”
“Brayan has managed, just by being, to upset me from the inside and make me feel something no one has ever even touched before.”
“More than once I’ve happened to send vocals to her mom crying, not even knowing the reason, or I’d see her story and laugh alone in my studio, forgetting everything good or bad day is treating me.”
“For this reason, just because Brayan in my life is UNIQUE and he managed to make me discover a part of me that I didn’t know I had (even though I hoped), I spontaneously felt like giving him an object that symbolizes work, sacrifice and sacrifices that make dreams of a lifetime come true.”
“Today is one of the best days of my life, and it’s only because of you Brayan.”
“I’ll always be there for you.” – Andrea Presti
