Touching moments

We are rushing and hurrying around..... gotta go there and buy this and then remember to buy that and so on...
On the to-do-list of yesterday there was also the visit to Andra's uncle, the brother of his father. It's a couple of years we don't see him and his partner Enova.
So we went to zio Gino to bring them the candy box. She's 84 and he's almost 83 so we knew they could not be to the ceremony.
We went there and he barely recognized Andrea. He's phisically in shape (as an 83 y.o. man can be) but he's loosing his memory. And we stayed there half an hour and it has been a very touching moment.
Andrea was shocked to see his only link to his dad's family out of work... Zio Gino understands everything but do not remember. While crying he said some very important things.
He was making a statement on his situation and he said that of course life is a great gift but he was complaining because at a certain time he wish to stop with it and that he's happy to live only because Enova lives, otherwise..... it wouldn't be worth. He continued saying: "to love each other is the only important thing in life".
Should I tell you I was crying like a fountain?
He said he has been content in his life. He adopted a young girl when he was younger and he loved her as his own child.... he was remembering this and said "I had not a lot of money but.... better to spend those money for someone in need than for other things." Should I tell you how my eyes were spilling salted water?
It has been very touching. Seeing he's frustration for not remembering about Andrea.... nowing that he is his niece but still an unknown.
Andrea was crying too telling him how much he loves him.... and me... I was almost drowning...
The thought is: even if he lost his memory he still had 'important' things to say... those coming from the heart, those coming from a long life, those coming from up above.
Gotta really go and live to Rome.
