Rita Rose Neri, 1904-2003
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
A lot like my grandmother.
Rest in peace, nonni.

If we'd told her she had to help with dinner . . .

RIP!

I honestly think she pulled herself back from this last crisis so we'd have time to go say goodbye.
And she ate the polenta I made her.

Not having had enough warning (a week?) I won't be able to have any salted codfish soaked for the occasion, but sardines in hot sauce aren't a terrible substitute as they sound.

With cheese, even. Yum.

I know you're busy. It was good to see you when you came.
