I'm not a religious person, but I do believe in love. "If you look for beauty you will find it everywhere". Something my dad said before he died.... He was full of amazing sayings. I still hear his voice in my head and I cherish it. Even that he has transitioned from his physical body I continue to learn from him. However if you are in Italy you don't have to look for beauty very hard. You will most likely just stumble on to it. I accidentally found a great spot take a picture of Vatican City from above. I was lucky enough to be with the most beautiful woman in the world drinking a glass of wine too. Enjoy, and remember if you are in a place that you may think is not so beautiful, maybe it's because you are not looking hard enough.
I'm sorry to hear about that, but I am wondering why you are commenting about it on this post? I have no idea who that is or how its related.
