Sofia Goggia, chilling social thanks to mom
Sofia Goggia è ready to return to the slopes this weekend in Beaver Creek. The Bergamasque, on her way to the US resort, wanted to thank her mom, dedicating a long message to her on her Instagram profile: "Keep in your heart your dream: this phrase you always dedicated to me, written in every greeting card, whispered in my ear every time I was about to leave for my races, after giving me a kiss, squeezed tightly in one of those usual hugs of yours, hugs where you were always moved; those shining eyes of yours, full of emotion and apprehension, apprehension of which I have often, intimately, in my life, struggled to bear, I have imprinted them within and cherish them as the source of your Love".
"'Keep your dreams in your Heart… and don't let anyone steal them from you' you added when you were gently caressing me on the couch before this trip: tears streaked our faces. '… becauseé Sofia, you have dedicated your whole life for this, è since you are six years old you have been cultivating this dream then, if è this what you really want, you have the moral duty and the right to pursue it, so I tell you, and I tell you firmly, don't let anything or anyone steal it from you: protect it there, inside your heart'".
"You have experienced my personal fatigue of these months since that day in February – continued the ski star -, my inner darkness and è that is precisely why you repeated these words to me, urged me to keep dreaming. Dear Mom, I am on my way to Beaver Creek, the season starts on Saturday: my eyes are glazed over writing these words. I think back to that day in February, when I was still crawling on the snow, looking at that blue sky, feeling that my foot was gone but the only pain I felt, sharp as a stab, was that of my heart, whose dreams were shattered".
"There’è one thing I haven’t told you but I wish you would know…the other day, after the’last round of giant slalom training in Copper, I lay with my back on the snow, turned my gaze to the’insù, like that day, for which I so cursed myself, little accepted, with extreme effort forgiven: I looked at the sky but this time I smiled, pervaded by an’enormous sense of gratitude. That dream è again, strongly alive in me. Thank you for being there, silently, been" closed Goggia.
