Résumé : They say life is a long stretch of a calm river, but not for everyone! She was for
me until the day when everything rocked, the day my destiny was changed dramatically.
People do not realize how life can be so sweet and so beautiful. They complain all
day long for trivialities. They are not even aware that they have before their eyes
the most beautiful wealth: the luck and happiness of living in good health. I was
rich before. Now I am poor because my child has an incurable disease, that has currently
no hope of being healed. As a parent, how can we accept that?, How to continue living
carrying the bundle of pain in my head?, How to overcome this feeling of helplessness?
When I started speaking to my heart, I didn't know myself that this was the beginning
of a new life: a rebirth as a poet. When I learnt that my 7-year-old daughter was
suffering from the Dravet Syndrome, a rare genetic epileptic encephalopathy, this
was like an earthquake in my life. Then, I needed to write in order to express my
sorrow and my pain. Words and rhymes came naturally to my mind. This was obvious that
poetry would be my survival weapon. [source éditeur]
