This gentleman is my husband Franco who today celebrated his 91st birthday. Of course he’s much older than me, because my 91st birthday will be only in a month (we have always liked joking about the month of difference we have in age).
We have been married for 67 years, which, I suppose, can be considered a lot of time.
At our age all kinds of celebrations have become a boredom and heavy to stand.
So we have had a quiet day like all the others of our normal routine. Well, not exactly…my husband received some presents and at lunch we had a fantastic, personalized cake as dessert.
I have tried to take many photos of him, but he doesn’t like posing and I’m old too, so my hands tremble a little and I’m not too quick in capturing his best expressions.
But I think this photo can represent a nice memory of the day.
Here he has two of the presents he received.
A personalized book created by our daughter with the story of his life and a blanked composed with a patchwork of family photos.
He was very happy and so were all the people who care for him.
