Your story transports me back to a time when these women were alive. I know any one of them would have done the same.
My children are adults now, but a very favorite book of theirs was strega nona by tomie depaolo. I went to look up the book to share it here, and i see he has written additional books about this good
Italian grandma. Any of them would be a treasure, just like the grandmas you encountered.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful story
Of the kindness shown to you and your family.

cabbage wrote: What a wonderful experience---we remember these stories of kind strangers in different lands--they really treated you and your children as they would want everyone to treat anyone's children. What a marvelous thing. Barbara kingsolver describes a similar experience (in another country) in her book of essays "high tide in tucson"--it's called "anybody's baby" i think. Lovely. Thanks for sharing!
