My dear Lucia
Today I feel that my shoes drag years of intense struggle and on this road, fatigue stops me once again. I catch my breath, one last sigh before I take this cane that so often holds my fears and I choose, a little forced, a bench almost as decrepit as me, and I would almost bet that with hundreds of stories to tell, although I doubt that they could be more beautiful than ours, my dear Lucia.
An imposed distance separates us, but I feel you here, sitting on my bench, scolding me because today I didn't match my socks well either, maybe it's too late to learn that navy and black don't get along, but don't worry, because this morning I took my pills well, your white porcelain pillbox keeps helping me.
Here the sky is blue, the sun's rays hit against my wrinkles and although I almost have to close my eyes, I can greet the birds fluttering over the park, yes, they are the ones you like so much. Today I've also brought them bread, I throw them some crumbs, but I'm sure that, in them, they miss the sweetness of your hands.
Guess whose laughter is the most heard among all the laughter of the children on the slide. Yes, little Cata, who gives life to our days and who, by the way, I don't see her there anymore, but don't worry, I'm sure she'll show up soon. I was telling you, she comes to our bench, with her curls jumping in the air and with her magic, she takes a beautiful flower from her back, a daisy, today the field is full of them, she puts it in my hands, not before sealing it with a kiss, and she tells me that it is for her grandmother, for you, my dear Lucia. This afternoon, like every day, when I go to see you, I will bring it to you.
