It has been awhile. Life has been marching on, as it does. Things have been busy, as they are. Work has been demanding, as it is. The weather has been unpredicable, it is spring.
Carmine and her entire family are in Naples... sitting at her grandmother's bedside awaiting her last breath. While it is in many ways a horrible thing to have to do, I am so glad they are all there, and have the chance to do it. Their pastor is their, the whole family is there; one of the nurses got a keyboard brought to the room and Carmine has played everything she can remember- from sonatas, to nocturnes, to showtunes and polkas.
And in these last days, these last hours, I realize even more why I love this family so...
