Marcos Mion presented significant moments from Sônia's career, from her start in the profession to international reports in London, New York, Beijing, and Paris. The host highlighted the long partnership between the reporter and cinematographer Paulo Zero, who began working with her in the 1990s and, together, covered events like Rio-92 and the interview with Edward Snowden.

Paulo Zero, known for his discretion in front of cameras, recorded a video testimony for Sônia. He said: “Anyone who knows me knows it's very difficult for me to speak directly to the camera, but, since it's for Sônia, I'll make an effort.” He then discreetly entered the studio, positioned himself behind one of the cameras, and declared: “Sônia is the best reporter I've ever known (...), an irreplaceable mother and a wonderful grandmother. And she also has great patience, especially with me, putting up with me for these 30 years. I don't have much more to say, but I leave a big kiss here. I love you, Sônia.” The reporter cried and thanked her husband, saying: “Baby, thank you. Only you could make me cry in public. This journey is good. I think we can handle another 30 [years]. Love you.”

Daughter Mari Bridi also participated in the tribute, explaining that, despite the travels and intense professional routine, Sônia maintains a close relationship with her and her grandchildren. Mari highlighted the difference between her mother's public image and family life, emphasizing that Sônia dedicates attention to her grandchildren when they are together. She also recalled simple everyday moments, such as cooking on Sundays with Valentim.

Aurora and Valentim sent recorded messages to their grandmother, recalling trips and shared moments. The testimonies brought to light situations from family routines that typically don't appear in Sônia Bridi's reports.

conclusion of the tribute

In the end, Sônia summarized her feelings in a short sentence: “They are my world.” The tribute on Caldeirão, therefore, was a moment to celebrate the journalist's career and the strong family bond the reporter maintains with her husband, daughter, and grandchildren.
