Introduction
For every person there is a ‘magic whisper’.
This could be a note on the piano for the beginning of a song, a word on a piece of paper for the beginning of a fairytale, a flap in a woman’s stomach which presages the arrival of a new life.
Whatever this is though, it’s always and only for the best.
My ‘magic whisper’ was, is and will be a challenge.
The challenge to raise two children that are so similar and at the same time so different.
Similar because they are twins, different because one of them is disabled and the other Isn’t.
However, this disability is not my challenge, an obstacle my family has to overcome, it isn’t the struggle of my life.
My challenge, the ‘magic whisper’ is to raise two children with love, with soul and patience expecting only one thing: to be able to see the ‘rainbow’ one day just like the
one Mati saw.
Enjoy the reading.
