REFLECTION -
It wasn't abnormal to catch Peter speaking bits of Italian throughout his day. He would make us all laugh, not by what he said, but by the conviction in his voice that was behind each word. He kept "Italian For Dummys" on his book shelf and listened to Italian tapes in the car. He was the most Italian member of our family. The language, the cooking, the love for Italy ....... no doubt, this man was proud of his heritage!
APPLICATION -
During a lengthy drive to South Florida, Erik and I decided to pop in a tape and learn some Italian. We have a family trip planned at the end of the year to visit Italy, so we thought it would be a good idea to learn what we can now! As the words poured from the tape onto our tongues, Pete came to mind. Memories of Pete walking around the house shouting Italian phrases formed a smile upon my heart.
REFLECTION -
I hope to learn what I can in Italian before our trip, keeping Pete in my heart every word of the way!
