In Memory of my wife, Luciana
There has been -- and will continue to be for an uncertain amount of time (days, not weeks, I hope) -- an interruption in the entries in Naples: Life, Death and Miracles. My dear wife, Luciana, passed away a few days ago. We were married for 46 years.
I hereby declare that whatever happiness or joy I have found in this life I owe to her unbelievably silly decision to say yes and take me aboard her personal ship to the future all those years ago. (The image shows us at the beginning of life's voyage. I am the one on the left.)
I loved her then, I still love her, and I always will. I find no more powerful words than those of Elizabeth Barret Browning:
"I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life."
