a smile to remember

This photo of Danda was taken after a week in the islands. Alexis had just arrived and we were in the midst of a family reunion. Happy times .

I am so very grateful to all the bloggers and the followers who gave Alessandra such a morale boost during the difficult moments.

With love, Vicki

  1. Vicki, this is the Danda that I remember. That smiley face leaning forward into every conversation and always wanting to know more-she was a great conversationalist and someone who anyone could talk to you. It was her gift. I love you. Hugs and kisses, Alexis

  3. My Dear Vicki, I would love to be able to help at this terrible moment ... The photos of Alessandra are amazing and this blog will help her beautiful little son to understand his mother's loss when he is older .... I'll be arriving in Cala d'Aigufreda at the end of the month if you feel like coming for a few days ...
    LOVE, Anne

  5. Dearest Vicki and Marco,
    My heart and mind are with you and I'm so deeply sorry for what has happened. You must be very proud of your babies, Alessandra for being such a wonderful spirit and a fighter until the end and Chiara for being everything she needed to be and more in the past year and a half. All my love to you both, Chiara, Julian and especially to baby James. He is lucky to have you all. I came across this which made me smile between tears and think of you: •God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
    God be with you now and always.
    xx Liz
