Happy 93rd birthday in heaven, Mommy. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโค๏ธ So muc Happy 93rd birthday in heaven, Mommy. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโค๏ธ

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 didnโ€™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 giveโ€ฆthat extra layer of love, wisdom, history and belonging. You gave them that. โค๏ธ

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, โ€œMommy, what do you think?โ€

I feel you and I know youโ€™re watching over me, over us. Thank you, Mommy. Love you very much.โค๏ธ

I have to say, one of the biggest highlights of this trip was spending time with my husbandโ€™s family- cousins in Chittanova, Calabria.
I loved seeing my husband completely in his element. I donโ€™t know how else to explain itโ€”I just saw him so, so happy. โค๏ธ 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 youโ€ฆ they FED us. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And fed us some more. The food, sitting around the table, spending time together, the simplicity of life thereโ€ฆ I loved all of it.
The language was definitely a little challengingโ€”even with Google Translate! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Thank God my husband speaks Italian. But now Iโ€™m thinking a future trip might already be brewingโ€ฆ maybe just me and the girls next time, staying in Chittanova and actually learning the language. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นโค๏ธ
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. โค๏ธ

โ€œThe theory of the moving train and the idea that โ€œThe theory of the moving train and the idea that you get what you give, so give it your all!โ€ My beautiful friend is living proof of that. Her love is unconditional, and our friendship reflects it. Weโ€™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 โค๏ธ @katemadrigalchua07
