The Wealth of Friendship

The familiar phrase in Italian, ‘ciao’ closely links me to human understanding, that relationship within one’s sanctuary highlights its meaning of joy and bonding. It’s a friendly salutation, a common greeting, I like it as a cultured, ethical person, I like it as a way to wish someone With great respect and importance. It makes me feel happy and recall those beautiful people I met before they’re real and caring souls suffused with love and fear of God. Perhaps others may wonder wy I always mention them; trough words and even in writing tey really deserve this revelation. My friends in Brescia, Italy Knew well that journey to be true As friends or persons with faith a gateway to sacred relationship. Our friendship has gone through the years, wth some gray hair and physical changes yet in spite of distance and pregnant pause we’ve remained good and loving friends. Up in the hill where I spent some days with them I came to know more their own struggle having a family with kids growing I could imagine the need to be strong. Luigi and Patrizia, their names so beautiful with their children – Alessandro and Claudia who are truly precious gifts, a continuation; the answer to their own vision and expectation. I hope to visit them again in the near future they’re special people to my heart and soul; their countless kindness and thoughtfulness will always make me remember their deep ‘ciao.’
