Nonna Benedetta

Date: 5/16/2016

This was one part to the multiple dreams I've had last night, and the one that was the most vivid. I had a dream that Nonna Benedetta was going to help me assist a class at ArteVino Studio, where I've been working for the past 3 months. Since she couldn't do it alone, Zizi Joe came along with her and watched over her the whole time to see if she was doing okay. The art classes flew like a breeze, and all of a sudden, it was over. When we all went home I take her a room that doesn't exist in our house but resembled the play room. (To be honest I wasn't quite sure whose house we were in anyways). Zizi Joe told me to find Nonna's brochure book and a USB drive, which had her information stored on there. I found the USB right away, but it took some time to find the brochure book. After tediously looking in every corner, I finally found it. It was bigger that usual; I thought it was a handheld. I open the pages and the so called "brochure" had milestones of events that happened in Nonna's life and the places she has traveled throughout her lifetime in the last 10 years. I flipped through the pages with curiosity and I saw beautiful a pictures of when she was in Sicily and Italy visiting her family and while she was younger before she moved to the U.S. Then I happened to see a picture of Nonna on a Florida vacation trip that was about ten years ago. (And in reality, she did take a month long trip to Florida back then). The back of the book had credits and just some sentences about her life. It was kinda vague though. When I closed the brochure, I asked Nonna, "If you ever feel better to what you used to be, would you travel again?" Without hesitation, she said but probably not in exact words, "Yes I sure would, and I would love to see where I once lived one more time". In conclusion, I believe that she would like to visit her hometown in Italy with her family one last time, knowing that she is getting older and may not be able to do the things she once did when she was young.
