gracchietto -> Marta and Samuele (4/17/2008 4:23:12 PM)
|
Marta will be 8 in July, Samuele will be 6 in a few days.
They are Lucia's and Andrea's kids, she is one of the very few cousins I'm still in contact with, the daughter of my dad's sister.
Lucia is in such deep depression that doctors have declared it isn't safe for her to stay alone for more than a few hours, much less if her childen are there with her, she is only 39.
Siince my grandmother died in early December my aunt Grazia has been spending as much time taking care of them and her as was humanly possible, it is easier when they are in school.
Grazia and Lucia are journeying to Lourdes on roughly the same days as me, although not on the same pilgrimage, we come from different counties.
As my dad was home alone tonight, he doesn't like to talk about it when my mum's home, he opened his heart and said that Grazia is scared Lucia might do something terrible and irreversible with Marta and Samuele.
We hear about these tragedies often enough on the news, I never thought it could happen in the family.
What do we expect of Our Lady at the grotto?
Who knows, it wil be hard to keep silent when we meet, for myself I ask nothing but for them...
Thanks again for listening, it seems these days I'm monopolizing this great community, sorry.
Chiara
