Dad

This is my dad, the man I love a lot, especially now, after mum's death. Here he is in his orchard which before was a vineyard owned by my great grandparents. He is always working in some way. He is very proud of his apples and all the fruit trees that are now for his great grandson Mariano. My dad often considers me as a girl in spite of my 60! Really I can say to him these words read i n a poem: "PADRE, SE TU NON FOSSI MIO PADRE, PER TE STESSO UGUALMENTE TI AMEREI" Father, even if you weren't my father, I will love you for what you are! Thanks,dad for being|
