Nadia Ciao bella. After going through similar struggles in Italy, I couldn't agree more. There comes a point when you just embrace (although every so often I think I'm entitled to a few minutes of venting ;) Nadia

Lee Dogoloff I too saw Uncle Sylvan and Aunt Shirley as my models and he was my real father---You should know that there was not a time that I saw him that he did not talk with great pride and love about you. And yes, both of their love, support and personal generosity live on in my life-- Hope your travels meet your high expectations to find your own place of peace and purpose in this word!
