In a poignant post from May 2020, 'mywrongwrist' (Luca) shared his family's return to Milan as Italy began to ease its initial COVID-19 lockdown. His reflections offer a unique snapshot of a global moment, highlighting the role of the WatchProSite community in providing 'leggerezza'โ€”lightnessโ€”during unprecedented times. Luca's gratitude and the community's response underscore the enduring human need for connection and shared passion, even amidst uncertainty.

tomorrow me and my family will come back home...

Good bye to the mountains, back to the โ€œnew normalโ€ with partial cancellation of some restrictions of the lockdown here in Italy

Fingers crossed as everyone is saying in my poor Country โ€œTutto andrร  bene!!!โ€, something like โ€œEverything will go well!!!โ€

Back in the center of the pandemic, but we need to take actions otherwise I do believe the future wonโ€™t be the same, I fear of being well in a sort of a comfort zone, too lazy...

I want only to thank everyone in this great community for the support and the laughs and the exchanges we had over the last long weeks (didnโ€™t they seem like years?), I really, really have a debt with you all, you made my days easier, with some โ€œleggerezzaโ€ as Italo Calvino (one of the greatest Italian writers) wrote once to be one of the most important attitude to cope with the toughness of living ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ now you to figure out what โ€œleggerezzaโ€ means...

This is not a goodbye, is only from my tired heart again a great thanks to all of you, Iโ€™m proud to be part of this community and I dream to meet in person as many of you as I will be able to when possible

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
Ciao, un abbraccio
Luca

Bye, bye for any foreseeable future:



My wonderful kids when I was typing with you:



Survival kit under pandemic:



Unreal vision:



Almost ready to start my engine:

I bet the vino did more for you than the Gel X!

Do you have un cuore pesante now that youโ€™re leaving such beautiful surroundings? Hope all will go well.
