As long as there are such loving memories your dear father (and my beloved nonos) will never by forgotten. I have him on my memories as a strong and gentle, handsome and kind, openhearted and generous but most of all I had him very close to my heart. Excellent (and not exi..) writing as always Sofia, thanks you for sharing these nice photos as well!!

Sorry for my delayed reading of this post—I kind of had a feeling it would need me to be quiet and still, and it did💛. Such a beautiful relationship between yourself and your Baba, Sofia … death can take the physical form, but it can never ever take our treasured memories nor the loving bonds we shared with those who shaped our hearts. Gorgeous photo’s, gorgeous essay 🙏

This is beautiful, Sofia - and yes, "I still love you (not “loved you”, because I am still alive, and I still do the loving)" - oh yes. xx
