We spent a lovely few intimate days with your great aunt Marina at her home in Pozzuolo di Friuli. Marina has been sick with breast cancer. The surgery and chemotherapy are now behind her but she is still very much in a phase of recovery. With periods of energy and warmth contrasting with phases of fatigue and fragility all I want to do is wrap her up in your hugs and sweetness.
One morning we prepared to leave the house to go into town. Coming down the stairs into the entrance foyer the light from upstairs disappears and without the lights on it is a dark, cool space. With our sunglasses at the ready we exited and stepped out into the sunshine. Your face in this photo perfectly sums up the delight we all felt as we embraced with warmth and light of the day.
