We received a phone call at eight o'clock this morning from Italy. We missed the call, but soon called them straight back as my step-father's sister has had cancer for some time; as you can imagine, we feared the worst. We were right to worry, after phoning the number back, my step-father's sister's husband, Alessandro, answered the phone and gave us the bad news. She passed away at five o'clock this morning.
She was a nice woman, and very selfless. I remember once visiting her home, and as soon as I set foot through the door, I was offered beverages and food, and was even offered to join them for a meal later in the day. Even though me and my step-father generally don't get on, I felt for him today, and I too felt upset. Rest in peace, Antonella. You will be sorely missed.
