Dear 2020

 You have been a particularly exhausting year emotionally, mentally and even a little bit physically.  But sometimes you have reserved pleasant surprises for me, not being able to make a bundle of grass I must say that you have been full of so many illuminations, but let's proceed with small steps, guys.

 It was January 26, 2020, I was still thinking locally about the previous year's performance;  two months earlier my first child was born "beautiful experience" a good breath of air and happiness had established itself in my daily life.  When she received a message from my sister, with the subject of a shocking news.  Unfortunately, the kind of news that you never expect to receive because it seems so absurd, unthinkable, fake news, instead Sir Kobe Bean Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant and other collaborators had not just died in a helicopter accident while they were going to the  Manba Academy for a basketball game.

 Heck it was a huge blow for many people for sure but especially for me who had shaped and still continue to do so by inspiring this giant of 24;  in my darkest moments his jump shots, the fadeways, his reverse layups, the 360 ​​crushes passing the ball behind my back had filled me with an immense Goia in the after-school afternoons or in the computer classrooms during the course of  computer technology.

 But, yes it was all true, the Manba sene had gone the way you least expected it.  Certainly one thing was clear, which would become a planetary legend "as if it were not already" leaving us a very important lesson about life: "that it must be lived fully, pursuing one's dreams, working hard to achieve one's goals by overcoming every  mental or physical limit in order to leave behind a dynasty that many will be able to cultivate, enjoy, learn and grow. "  Only in this way could we say that the hyphen between the year of birth and death has a meaning, a tangible definition through the memories of the people we leave behind.

 As if that were not enough, on February 21, the first case of Sars-Cov-2 renamed COVID-19 broke out in a city in the province of Lodi "Codogno".  Pandemic coming from distant China which however soon invaded all continents.

 Following the history of all the news, COVID-19 brought with it skepticism, confusions, questions about how, why, what to do but above all death.  At this point you can only wonder what the hell is going on with this new decade.  The newspapers that morning, afternoon and evening with special editions, reported the progress of the infection and the deaths.  Powerless in the face of so much devastation, we had to face the economic side of the crisis.  With layoffs, the prices of basic necessities skyrocketed but above all of the awareness that our lives hold up thanks to an invisible thread held by the gentleman.

 Yes, this 2020 was the year of awareness of faith, the awakening of the belief that there is something meaningful to everything that was happening.  The rediscovery of human values ​​and principles.

 Because despite this set of unpleasant events, as in the film by director Christopher Nolan which sees Christian Bale as the main actor in the role of Bathman "The Drak Knight Rises" each of us rises from our own ashes or rather from our own darkness and becomes something greater.  , with a new awareness of oneself, of one's principles and values, of one's foundations in the pursuit of happiness in life.

 Yes, this 2020 has shaped us with a return to order like the teachers in elementary school with life lessons that we would not forget shortly thereafter, which we would treasure and teach our sons.  

Yes 2020 I am ready to greet and welcome your brother 2021 with a new emphasis, hug him, smile and say thank you are finally here now let's walk together and make something great that I can make this world better and positive.
