On June 15 my dad passed away, in a hospital in Padova, far from home.
He wanted to recover.
He wanted to visit Berlin, to buy a bicycle, to learn to play the guitar, to return to L'Aquila.
He loved books, Jorge Luis Borges, music,humor, teaching, his family, his hometown.
He was shy, gentle and very loved.
This was his library. This was him.
Ciao Vic,

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I lost my dad last October. Such a difficult thing to face. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteI hope he's playing the guitar now. Maybe even riding a bike. He's certainly reading some book.
ReplyDeletei'm so sorry for your loss, and for his. peace and love.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara! I popped in from flying lessons to say hello..non mi aspettavo di leggere del tuo dolore..
ReplyDeleteMi dispiace ...Your Papi is a beautiful soul, I see this in his eyes....
Mi dispiace per 'L'Aquila'.. Tempo fa avevo amici there...
Un abbraccio!
PS I meant to tell you that your ART is BEAUTIFUL!! ASSOLUTAMENTE!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Dear one, So much grief in such a short time! Love does not die, though. May you experience your Papi's love always.
ReplyDeletePenso che con questo disegno hai veramente catturato l'essenza di tuo padre così come l'abbiamo conosciuto. Probabilmente di occhiali ne avrà avuti tanti, però, se ci vogliamo dedicare solo al disegno, me lo ricordo esattamente così. Gli oggetti che rimangono e che parlano dell'assenza.
ReplyDeleteOh, Barbara, I have only just read this. Hard hard loss, on top of so much else going on. Sending love to you.
