"Addio Nonna!"
"Ti vogliamo bene , nonna!"
I was left by the first train that passed by, so i have no choice but to wait. I recieved a call from my mom, she was mad asking me where i am because it is already late. I said im still at the train stop waiting for the next train that will be arriving. She told me that papi (my dad) just left going at the central station to travel tonyt going in naples.
Nonna died this evening, but im not sure what is the exact time. Mami told me the story when i arrived home. She said she recieved a call earlier from papi's niece, but papi is out together with a friend. When he came home, talk to another person and decided to leave immediately. He told mami he will be getting the train that will leave Milan at 10pm then he will arrive at Naples at 8:30am. Both of them are shocked. Mami got sad and wanted to cry but she did not because she knew papi will cry, too.
While i was waiting for the damn train (half an hour), i called up papi. I said im sorry for what had happened about Nonna. Well, that is life! Everybody needs to go and leave us someday. Sad but that is how life is. We are just borrowing it from him. It's time for Nonna to leave, anyway she have lived long time here. Nonna is already 93 years old!
Two months ago when she started getting sick. She suddenly stopped eating, getting stomach aches and getting weak. But then she still manage to recover after a few days, get well and back to normal. After a month, pauletta said that nonna is getting so weak and doesnt want to eat anymore (not eating totally). Everybody are all worried about her but nonna doesnt want to hel herself.
Last week, papi have been at Naples to visit nonna. He stayed for a week there to see how things are doing around. He have seen nonna so weak and got really thin because of not eating. He said nonna can still talk and just sleep almost all day without eating.
One nyt, papi visited nonna in her bed. Nonna open her eyes and said: "chi sei?" means "who are you?" then papi answered: "e chi รจ? come ti chiamo io?" means "who am i? what is my name?"...nonna answered "G-Gino...ti voglio bene, sei la mia vita!" means "G-gino i love you, you are my life". Papi was crying when he is telling that story actually, i almost cried too. We are just sad because nonna had to suffer alot before she dies. Papi told me that they don't allow mercy killing here especially for the catholic ones.
We just recieved a call right now, its papi. Telling us that he is already at the train and about to leave Milan. He sounds very sad and was crying on the phone. He is the only son who grew up with her mom and was given extra care. That is why papi is so sweet and yeah, the most good looking among the family.
"Nonna, speriamo che sei felice adesso. Ti ricordi che ti vogliamo un mondo di bene! Sei sempre nella nostra cuore, grazie nonna. Addio!..."
Y Make me yours tonight, let me die in your arms;
