Mates,
I wanted to join you and tell that while my mother died eight years ago on the 21st of December, my father instead died of lung cancer in February 1989.
Now I can tell you thay they belonged to the WWII generation, that is to say that they were extremely serious people, generous but somehow frugal, my mum in particular was a bit of a Prussian sergeant major, especially with me... :-)
She died of alzheimer, and in her last days she wasn't even the shadow of what she used to be.
In one of the few moments of lucidity, with a knot in my throat I somehow apologised and told her that I wish I had been a nicer person.
Well she answered me saying: " Sergio, life starts tomorow"
Not many people know this.
Sergio
