Ciao Amalfi

LIFESTYLE · November 2, 2011

We are who came before us.

All Souls Day on the Amalfi Coast

Today is All Souls Day in Italy, a day traditionally spent with family and visiting the cemetery to leave flowers and prayers for your family and friends. As a dear friend of mine recently said, “We are who came before us.” Wise words in their simplicity. My thoughts today are with my family and friends who have lost loved ones dear to their hearts. Thank you to LuLu from Calabrisella Mia for sharing this beautiful quotation today.

To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die. – Thomas Campbell

    That quote is very special to me as it is written on my father’s tombstone. It has really helped me to deal with the passing of those special people in my life. They live through the stories and warm memories we share. 🙂

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
