From Irene

Dear Johnny,

It's hard to find the words to comfort you, after this rough period. At least, I hope our love and support can make you smile a little bit, and help you in forgetting your disappointment! We all admire you, for being such a brave person: during Worlds you showed us all your power and your courage to go on, even if you were in terrible pain. This makes you a strong, powerful, unique man. Your skating style is full of passion and grace, unlike many other skaters who focus only on technical elements (I find them boring: when I see you skating, I see an artist on the ice, able to transmit unforgettable emotions to the other people, and to make them dream. You simply take my breath away.
We all believe in you, Johnny, we have trust in you, and I hope you never lose your self-confidence. As you can see, a lot of people adore you, and for us you're always on the top of the podium!!!
Now that Worlds are over, I wish for you to spend more time doing the things you like the most, have some rest, and fun of course! In few words: live your life now!!! And, above all, BE HAPPY!!!
You deserve it.

With love
Irene
