TI SEGUIRO FUORI DALL' ACQUA
There once was a man who was always running, and a child who could only walk slowly. Life put them together. Life made the former a father, and the latter his son. Thus began an important story: a love story.
“This book is about the first three months in the life of my son, three months in the incubator, with wires, hoses, medical devices, special soaps, neon lights and gloves. He was a premature infant. Maybe this is a novel, maybe it’s not. It does not matter. I focus only on the first three months in his life as I think they are of primary importance: then it was decided whether his life and my life would be a misfortune or an adventure. My son has Down Syndrome. I began to talk to him, I was passionate and enraged, and he was “guilty”, he had not met my expectations. Before his birth I was successful, I was fast and I met only successul people. I thought suffering and unhappiness were the evidence, the prooves of failure. My son made me understand several things. His problems opened my heart and tought me to be modest and respectful. I do not keep unhappy people at distance, I do not flee from them anylonger. I think this is the greatest achievement in my life. I gave birth to my son but he gave birth to me as well, for sure."
