Why I Was Away

-
The reason I haven't been posting too much on the blog this past week has been very hard for me and my entire family.

It is with great sadness to say that my nonno has past away at the age of 88. He was very strong these past 2 1/2 years while he was in the hospital with my nonna always by his side and to help translate for me when I would always visit. He has definitely been an inspiration for me because he moved from Italy to Canada in the 1950's where he didn't know English and wanted to start a better life for his future family. Tomorrow/today a week ago marks his passing, but he will forever be in my heart and has touched many others during his life. While it has been tough I am proud to be 1/16 grandchildren.



XOXOXO Nonno!
