As your father I know you haven't heard me say this much but... This left me speechless. He summarized the experiences of millions of Italians expatriates and their families across the four corners of the world. It has to be the first thing I've ever read in my life which I could see, smell, taste and feel all at the same time.
Thank you for reminding us how blessed we all are and for putting your god-given talents to such a noble purpose.
Donatella, I so loved reading this story! Throughout, I was visualizing your nonno ( my favorite uncle) and nonna, this brought back so many memories of them and my mom! Thank you for expressing through your story the mutual love that was and is there❤️.
It makes me so happy to hear you liked it. I think each person has their own soundtrack that plays of their weekends spent with loved ones, especially the elders in our family.
As the sister in this story, this is beautiful! It is almost impossible to incapacitate the essence and nostalgia of a “weekend at Nonna’s “ unless you have lived it. However, you have done a wonderful job taking me back to childhood and allowing my mind to wander back to those precious weekend, and even smell the coffee on the stove. (PS read this in my lecture and cried… that ending HIT me like a brick) love you 😘
