This morning I have learned that the father of my friend and partner, Simone, has suddenly died. Simone's wife has asked me to forward the news to the rest of this community.

For those of us who live so intensely this life on-line receiving the support from the people we know, even only by reading each other's weblog, is quite important.

So, these few lines are here to express our love for Simone and his family.
