Papa,Throughout the years you have been such a gift to me. You have a laugh, and a smile that used to light up a room. Your generosity flooded this entire family; with you bringing us closer than ever.
I remember when I used to sit upon your lap, and you’d tell me to read a book out loud to you. And I would do that; almost every weekend. By the time I was age 10, I could read aloud like I’d been taught perfectly. And I was.
You transformed my life environment into a loving and open-hearted experience. In the past couple of years you have struggled through tough times. Your attitude was phenomenal towards it and that; and you, was what put smiles on our faces every time we saw you.
‘Ciao Papa’ are few words that will not be shared between you and I. You will always be within my heart and surely everyone else’s who had the blessing of knowing you within their lifetime.
You used to simply hate my brothers’ and my table manners. Nothing seemed to keep us in place at the dining room table. It used to make me laugh the way you used to imitate us.
You may have not changed the world; but you changed mine.
I’ll keep my elbows off the table for you Papa. There will always be a place in my heart for you.
