Original: Esistono persone speciali, rare, che non si incontrano per caso, ma che arrivano come un dono dal cielo. Ti raggiungono per incoraggiarti, per esserti accanto nei momenti di fragilità, negli istanti in cui il mondo sembra crollarti addosso. Queste persone fanno parte di quel sottile spazio di vita, definito meraviglia.
