Dear Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio,
To say we have been anxiously awaiting your return is an understatement. Â We wish we ALL could have been at the airport with OPEN ARMS as you stepped back onto American soil. Â You have been missed more than you could ever imagine. Â Our tickets have been purchased for CONCERTS, PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES. Â Now we just count down the hours until we see you on our stages once again!
To your loving parents who graciously accompany you here and to those who stayed at home to keep the home warm in your absence…we say WELCOME BACK!  We are so delighted you are here!  Your presence is such a testimony to the outstanding ways you have raised your sons and continue to support them in life.  We love and respect each one of you.  We sincerely hope some of us will get the chance to see you and speak with you along the tour.  Welcome  back and may you all have a wonderful tour!
WELCOME TO YOUR OTHERÂ HOME IL VOLO!
We’ve missed you so much!
And soon….
They’re here and I’m here.
Can it be that I saw them just last July? It seems like years!
Now, standing outside the theater just before the concert and later the meet & greet, my breathing is shallow. This is the moment I know I possess a strong heart. Forget the treadmill…It’s this – pre-concert – standing in line – palms sweating – anticipation making my head spin – exercise that really gets the heart pumping.
I’m about to spend a quick two hours with “Them”, standing right there.. LIVE and IN FRONT OF ME… singing and dancing and fooling around. Oh, it’s all going to be so good!
After the concert at the meet & greet I will touch them to assure myself, once again, that they are real. Three hugs, six quick cheek kisses and my memories will sustain me for months (Maybe just weeks or at least through the next day) until I begin to pine for them again.
Is there a chance one of them will remember me? I have spoken to them many times now. I mean, they’ve only met a hundred thousand or so people since we last met. So, why not?
Oh, the theater doors are opening! Finally, finally time to go in.
To be continued….
…by you!
~Marie
Come in and share the love of life, friends and Il Volo!
