The Memorial Day Thank you for your smiles! A special evening

This post is for us a truly "special"
In fact, we at Comicomix we want to thank the many friends near and far who have decided to give us a smile. We have done that, privately, to each of them. But we want to do it here. Initiative Give a smile, he wanted to remember our preziossisimo Alessandro , supporting research to combat neuroblastoma, there are 400 arrivals smiles ... yes, you read that right: 400 drawings, many from many friends, young and old, famous and unknown. And we did what we promised to do. (What? If you're curious or want to be reassured - is human, do not worry - visit this page where everything is written).
It 's a thing fills us with emotion and challenge us to continue this ... in our small, certainly, and what we do. Drawings, cartoons, and some little thought, a whisper, and always with a smile. For all those who sent us the drawings, or that we still have helped, supported, encouraged and there are also very very expensive, and for others, a hug and a smile.
And a hug and a smile, if allowed, go to the doctors, nurses and auxiliary staff of the Department of Onco-Hematology Gaslini Institute of Genoa, to their ability, their commitment to their passion. Italians are proud of where we go.
We will not stop. We know we can count on your affection. We continue to collect all the smiles that anyone who wants to can send, as is explained in our site, this page . In 2007 the collection has already taken, the drawings have already arrived.
We owe it to children and families who face this disease, unfortunately, and we owe it to our Alexander. Those of you who had the honor of knowing him, find him in this poem by Prévert, Alice and Anna have dedicated the day that we were forced to say goodbye.

To make a portrait of a bird
First paint a cage
Should have the open door then paint

Something of pretty
Something that is simple
Something that is beautiful
something useful for the bird
Then place the canvas against a tree in a garden

in a wood or a forest
Hiding behind that tree
Without saying anything and without moving ...
Sometimes the bird comes quickly
But it can also put us years and years
Before you decide.
not discouraged

Wait Wait if necessary for years
The speed or the slow arrival of the bird
It has nothing to do with the success of the framework.
When the bird arrives
If you're traveling
Observe absolute silence
Wait until the bird enters the cage
And when it has made
Close the door gently with a brush
And
Delete one by one all the bars
Taking care not to touch the feathers of the bird.
do at this point the picture of the tree
choosing its most beautiful branch for the bird
then paint the leaves green and freshness of the wind
The dust of the sun
The sound of insects hidden in the grass in the summer heat
Then expect that the bird feels like to sing.
But if he does not sing
It 's a very bad sign
E' sign that the picture came evil
But if singing is rather good sign
sign that the work is signed.
And here you rip with great sweetness
A bird's feather and a
write your name in a corner of the picture.

Although no longer walk the streets of the world, in the heart of one who loves me are still there. And there'll always be. Thank you all. Alessandro
