Maria Grazia, a woman of the heart of gold, selfless, giving, kind and always concerned about other people's feelings.

Luisa, a dear friend that shares with me the love for this country and that is always ready to listen when I just need to talk...She is ready to give a hand in the time of need and she is a comfort to me through her deep faith.

Suor Annarosa, a catholic nun of the Orsoline order in my hometown in Italy, who believed in me and that was able to see the dreams in my eyes and that believed I could make them become a reality by working hard and giving always the best of myself.
She saw the real Angela and she deeply believed that I could do pretty much anything I set my mind to.
She has been a friend, a counselor, a spiritual guide and a great adviser.
She is wise, strong and intuitive. She knows exactly what to say and she knows how to bring comfort and love by reminding me that I am never alone.

All of my friends, throughout the world, who have kept in touch with me for well over a decade and have the power to let me know they care, even if they live so far away.
I might not be able to hug them or see their smiles, but our friendships go much deeper than that.
I would like to dedicate this area to them, so they can realize, once more, how much they all mean to me.
These are their names and countries in which they reside:
Deborah, Maria Grazia, Chiara, Chantal, Laura, Ezio, Suor Annarosa, Suor Fides and Luisa from Italy
Miriam, Daniela and Irina from Germany
Teresa and Ian from Switzerland
Jasmina from Spain
Helen from England
Eric from France
Primoz from Slovenia
Rachel from New Zealand
Caryn, Kathy, Carla, Kari, from Usa

My husband Keith, companion of my life’s journey.
Many are the unforgettable moments spent together in the years of our marriage and many are the challenges that we have in our lives, but we still are and feel strong, we are determined and focused more than ever on living each moment to its fullest and we won’t let the difficulties of life stop our way of living, enjoying and growing together.

At last, I would also like to remember the people that I meet in the street of this great country and that answer to my many smiles, the type of people that open their hearts to receive them and to accept them.
To everyone who is willing to help others without waiting to be asked to and to the ones you are willing to be there for others, I admire your selflessness and your generous spirits.
You are the people that make this world a good place to live in.

Thank you all.
