I miss that, too. Finally someone who hares that trait. Terrible things from my past. Examples:
My nonni/aunt’s (I know its a funny word but hey it’s Italian) hotel is my favoite place to be. I go there in the summer and work for them. I love it. Today, they are thinking of selling it because they are getting old. I pray to God this doesn’t happen. In 1989, my parents married. June 10th. Everything was well. October 4th- nonni/aunt close down their hotel for the season (they are open in summmer only). October 19th, Thursday. Call from person saying that their hotel was inflamed. They rushed to the scene. And my nonna (grandmother) says that one of the worst things that she has ever seen is the fury of the fire, wrecking their property, costing them money, and it is “as the fire was like Lucifer on earth”. Poor nonna having to experience that.
Now this is where I come into play. I can picture all of October 19th, 1989 in my head. It is because I am always bothering my nonni (grandparents) for details on everything. If I could only go back to that day. I know it’s terrible day but I want to see my summer home going down. I just want to go to try to stop it. Today, it is open and remodeled, but I would die to see what It looked like back in the 80’s. I can only see it in my mind because my nonni have explained it to me. Also, Ihave uncovered lost pictures of the old hotel. How beautiful it was—even in the 80’s. If u want more info just tell me.
Second Story—
1984. My great grandfather dies. Now I am not alive yet. My parents aren’t even married! So, my dad-to-be is sad because his dad grandfather died. Then, his great uncle, Donald, take all of my great grandfather’s money. From that point, my family almost excludes Donald from the family. Now, every family reunion on my dad’s side, I always have this odd feeling or notion that someone is missing. And it is not just because my grandmother just died, it is that Donald isn’t here. Even though he is mean (I shouldn’t get into the detail of what he did—too gruesome), I want to meet him. I want proof that he is really a bad person.
There is more but those are some.
RIP greatgrandfather,grandmother, and Silver Wave Hotel back in the 80’s (but it is up and running now)
