Simona Sparaco - About Time

I know it, just as I know that time devours everything, but not these memories, not this love, not the moments that last for ever.

So here I am, thanking those who made this “new” adventure possible (I say “new”, even though I started writing this story nearly ten years ago), those who held my hand on this treacherous path.

I will start with my nearest and dearest: parents, siblings, friends and relatives. Those who love me are sure to know who I mean. Thank you to all those who racked their brains along with me to come up with a title. To the colleagues who inspired me, my schools and teachers. Next, thank you to Raffaele, Carol, Antonella and the team at Newton who continue to support me. A special thank you to Paolo Taggi, for all his invaluable advice, and to the Coccaglioni family, who ten years ago allowed me to start to dream.

A thank you from the bottom of my heart to a great man who flew up to heaven too early: Oscar, an angel and a true friend.

And a small thank you to Massimo, who told me one evening about a belly button and the fear of getting lost.
