It\u2019s been five years since my Nonno passed away and I still have no words to describe how much I miss my Nonno. The pain I felt on this day five years ago is still ever present and is something that will probably never go away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Nonno was such a big part of my life and everything reminds me of him. The most obvious one, ancient Egypt, reminds me the most of him. My apartment is littered with not only his ancient Egyptian trinkets but also his books. My brain is full of all the wonderful things he taught me. My soul is filled with the passion for ancient history that he instilled in me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not only ancient Egypt – it\u2019s Disney World, anything Italian, even my vacuum cleaner (because he gave it to me). I can\u2019t even clean without a reminder that he isn\u2019t here with us anymore. I can\u2019t ride the Haunted Mansion, Tower of Terror, and the Peoplemover without remembering how much he loved those rides and how much I wish he could be here in Florida with me to enjoy them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut what is grief if not love persevering?\u201d is a quote from WandaVision that I think about frequently and I feel accurately describes my emotions. My grief\/love will always be present – and I think that\u2019s the curse of being so lucky. I was so lucky to have my Nonno and to be his granddaughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
