I Was a Caregiver To My Mother and Mother in Law

Growing up, I would see how my mother cared for my grandmother and grandfather. She worried about them and made sure that they were safe and well. The many visits to check up on them had built a foundation for me.  I have cared for my own mother here in the United

A Fatherless Daughter

All my life I was without a father. My father left my mother and all of his kids in 1971. I was 3 and half years old. I have a very vague memory of him. I only remember him through old pictures. Growing up without a dad is definitely a disadvantage! It

Happy 93rd birthday in heaven, Mommy. 🕊️❤️ So muc Happy 93rd birthday in heaven, Mommy. 🕊️❤️

So much of who I am came from what you instilled in me, your values, your wisdom, your strength, and most of all, your understanding heart.

But you didn’t only help shape me. You helped me raise my children. So much of who my boys are today carries your touch, and I will forever be grateful for that. As a mother, I could give them everything I had in me, but there are certain things only a grandmother can give…that extra layer of love, wisdom, history and belonging. You gave them that. ❤️

You always said that one of the greatest gifts we can give our parents is to let them see what they taught us reflected in the way we live our lives. I understand that more than ever.

I miss you, Mommy, especially during those moments when I wish I could simply ask, “Mommy, what do you think?”

I feel you and I know you’re watching over me, over us. Thank you, Mommy. Love you very much.❤️
My final Italy post 🇮🇹❤️ I have to say, one of the My final Italy post 🇮🇹❤️
I have to say, one of the biggest highlights of this trip was spending time with my husband’s family- cousins in Chittanova, Calabria.
I loved seeing my husband completely in his element. I don’t know how else to explain it—I just saw him so, so happy. ❤️ And that alone made this part of our trip so special to me.
The last time I saw his family was in 2015, so I feel very fortunate that I got to see them again and, this time, really get to know them better.
And let me tell you… they FED us. 😂 And fed us some more. The food, sitting around the table, spending time together, the simplicity of life there… I loved all of it.
The language was definitely a little challenging—even with Google Translate! 😂 Thank God my husband speaks Italian. But now I’m thinking a future trip might already be brewing… maybe just me and the girls next time, staying in Chittanova and actually learning the language. 🇮🇹❤️
There was just something so special about our time there. Nothing fancy. Just family, food, conversations, laughter and being together.
Such a beautiful experience and definitely one of my favorite parts of Italy. ❤️
Until next time, Italia. 🇮🇹

“The theory of the moving train and the idea that “The theory of the moving train and the idea that you get what you give, so give it your all!” My beautiful friend is living proof of that. Her love is unconditional, and our friendship reflects it. We’ve known each other since we were 15 when we made our first movie together. Life took us in different directions, but somehow brought us back. Your move to New Jersey, only deepened my belief in destiny, that the right people always find their way back to you. Our friendship has stood the test of time, growing stronger with each season. Happy birthday, my dear Sis. Love you ❤️ @katemadrigalchua07
