    No one knows what tomorrow holds. Your past tomorrow’s, step by step, have challenged you in ways none of us could have imagined. You have faced and stared down each obstacle/challenge. We could not be more proud of how you/team Chiara have adjusted to the new normal. Love and hugs Dad&Mum ????
