Ciao Claudio, abbiamo condiviso anni belli e spensierati, anche se pochi. Avevi altri sogni per il tuo futuro, e li hai realizzati. Nonostante la lontananza e la tua riservatezza, venivi a trovarci a sorpresa, specie se sapevi di qualche novità nelle nostre vite. Da troppo tempo non succedeva e mi pento di non averti cercato. Fai buon viaggio caro amico, resterai nei nostri cuori 💕
