My ciao to Jules
A few days ago, I decided to write a message about Jules. Today, here I am - again - to give my last goodbye.
In Brazil, where I live, Jules’s funeral began at around 4h30 am. At that time, usually, I get up to watch the races from Asia (Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian Grand Prix) and Australian Gp. Today, it was different. I didn't get up to watch any race. In fact, I did not even wake up. Throughout my sleep, I dreamed of Bianchi. And it felt like, somehow, my unconscious was giving my #ciao to Jules. As if there weren't any distance between Brazil and France. Between me and him.
The most ironic thing is that this farewell happened through a dream; it was through a dream that I said goodbye to someone who has lived a nightmare. Maybe this dream means something.
Maybe Bianchi had the dream to write his name in history alongside the best ones. This takes effort. It was necessary to fight against suffering, against fear. "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game", we hear the saying. This is how Bianchi fought. This is how Bianchi destroyed the nightmare that he was living. And to live his dream - to be with the good ones - he had to die.
Surely this dream means something. It means that Bianchi is really where he wanted to be. It means Bianchi lives in a dream. In his dream. In our dreams.
And lucky was I, for being able, even for a while, to say goodbye to him at his new home.
