Gioia di vivere is the Italian equivalent of the French phrase Joie de vivre which means ‘joy of life’, a cheerful enjoyment of life; an exultation of spirit.
I can’t think of a better definition of my Aunt Dottie. In my mind’s eye, I see her as lively, sparkling, animated, cheerful and laughing. And her laugh was such a true expression of her personality. Her eyes would light up and then almost close because her great smile took up much of her face. She was a joy to be around and she brought joy to me. She was responsible for many of my happiest childhood memories. She was generous and loving. Her love of family and life was obvious and contagious. In my memory, that’s how I will always see her. I am blessed to have been her niece.
Even though your hearts are hurting, I’m praying for peace and joy for you all, knowing that your precious Mom is home, pain free,and experiencing great joy! She’ll always be with you! Love you all!
A mother’s love is special, unconditional, for eternity. Thanks mom, for everything. You will always be in my heart, forever. You’re one of a kind and you have touched my life and many others. Thanks for being you.
-Love Ernie
