10 years

Posted on by under Uncategorized

Yesterday, ten years ago, Kristiina and I walked through the night to visit the Erta Ale volcano crater, deep in the Danakil desert. It was a hard walk. I would say, in occasions, a climb. I was tired because the way to the volcano was tough, throughout the night, without sleep, and barely seeing where our feet were stepping. 

But we arrived to the crater and walked on top of hardened lava till we reached the firing living crater. It was a view we could enjoy for an infinite moment. It felt like the time had stopped and we enjoyed every second watching the lava. There was an indescriptible attraction to that view, to that world. I can’t even recall any other moment in my life of such a wonderful peace of mind.

I shared that moment with Kristiina. She was part of it.

Always in our minds.

Hola Kristiina,

We are enjoying Spring, as well as Dani, as it is changing weather, here and there. It seems we aren´t that far from each other in this time of the year. Spring time comes with hopes.

Please find some excerpts from Tesfaye´s great job with Dani:

April 21,
Dear Roberto;
I have passed your warm greetings

to Dani  and he is responding with great smile. Dani’s appointment in April eleven, in prosthetics orthopaedic center went very well. They have taken his precast and they will let me know by the time they make ready the KAFO cast and i am waiting for their call.

April 7,
He is very happy .
Dani is grown up very well  physically and mentally .
His mental cognition and understanding is improving from time to time
as well. His general health condition is good and doing fine with his
Daily activity. Dani has appointment on Tuesday April 11, in prosthetic
