Waiting for Mariano...Aspettando Mariano...

My little baby,
it's me, your granny with all my love waiting for your birth. Be strong, and help your mum. We can't wait to see you, to cradle you in our arms as the waves gently rock a little boat.
Mariano, when you will look at this world you will find you darling mum , your dad, your grandparents and your great-grandfather and all our tenderness.
The sun is shining today, the sky is light blue and the wind is blowing: it is a springlike day.
I pray for you and your mum. With love, your granny.
