Nel corso degli anni: Un tributo Nel corso degli anni, il nostro percorso insieme è stato un vivace mosaico di pasti condivisi, traguardi indimenticabili e dolci promemoria a mostrare sempre chi siamo veramente. Tutto è iniziato con il cibo—sempre preparato con passione e un’autenticità assoluta. Dalla squisita lasagna che conquistava ogni pranzo di gruppo, fino alla regola ferrea dei soli e unici spaghetti italiani (senza compromessi, mai!). Ci sono state le dolci celebrazioni alla California Academy of Sciences, rallegrate da fette di torta all'arancia e torta al limone. C'era l'energia per tutto il team grazie ai matcha drink fatti in casa e il calore avvolgente della cioccolata calda durante le feste di Natale. E, naturalmente, la missione ancora aperta: imparare il vero segreto per preparare il tiramisù perfetto. Oltre ai dolci, sono stati i momenti di tutti i giorni a creare questo legame profondo. Ci siamo scambiati storie sui nostri figli e racconti di estati italiane baciate dal sole, spesso con la versione italiana della colonna sonora di Tutti insieme appassionatamente (The Sound of Music) in sottofondo. Ci siamo fatti il tifo a vicenda durante gli allenamenti di tennis e attraverso la frenesia della vita. Soprattutto, hai portato saggezza e ispirazione in ogni momento. Con le lezioni del libro Designing Your Life, ci hai regalato la spinta e le frasi d'incoraggiamento più grandi: "Fatti sentire! Non rannicchiarti su te stesso/a!" "Fatti valere!" "Non è mai troppo tardi per trovare la tua scintilla." Attraverso ogni risata, ogni piatto e ogni insegnamento, ci hai guidato sempre con il tuo sorriso migliore. Grazie per tutto. -Irina
