Giulia - Madrid - 2015

This one is for all the mothers who sometimes think their words and wisdom are taken for granted…

A quote left by Giulia (from Italy) – in the last week before her departure back to Italy after having spent a year here in what she counts as one of the best periods of her life. It’s a quote her mother had left her just before kissing her goodbye a year ago when coming to Madrid. And ironically enough, as Giulia was packing her bags that week – ordering what to leave and what to take back – she stumbled on this quote. A strong and supportive message from Mother Theresa – but also from her own mother – who, although not there physically – was there for her daughter in words in the weeks that she probably needed it the most. A reminder of what’s worth fighting for in life: the gratefulness we need to preserve when things in life are beautiful – and the will to fight that we need to preserve when things get rough. And if you ever get to met Giulia and hug her in person – you’ll know her hugs mean exactly that – whether they are there to say hello or goodbye.
