I don't think any of us slept. The sadness and grief washed over us in waves. We did the best we could to get packed up and get Corey off to the airport, and to wrap up the requirements for my teaching at Cattolica. It was so hard on so many levels.
Once Corey headed out, Lily stepped up as to help me piece together the next week that Corey had so carefully planned. The first order of business was finding and getting the rental car. It is no small feat navigating city streets in Italy!
This picture makes me smile. Packing up the house, getting the rental car to our Milan house, and fitting all of us and our stuff in the car was award-worthy.
We saw a bunch of cars under an over-pass, and quickly realized it was for ping-pong sized hail dropping down from the sky. Luckily our car did not get damaged.
When we finally made it to the house Corey had rented, our hearts were filled with beauty. The driveway up to the house was a mile long, surrounded by rolling hills of olive trees, wheat, and eucalyptus. Just stunning - with a house designed to take it all in from every room.
After everyone picked their room, the kids tried out the pool and we made some pasta and opened a bottle of wine. Corey shared a few pics of life his luxe-life in first-class that made us happy.
