Audrey's Story

My Childhood & My Grandpa

 

 My grandfather was an adventurer and I grew up listening to his tales of youthful exploits, his photographs capturing bold adventures in jungles and atop mountains.

 The day before he passed, he told me, “Life is an adventure, full of challenges. Embrace it bravely. You have endless possibilities, believe in yourself.” These words left a profound imprint on me. Surrounded by family, he passed away peacefully in that memorable city, completing his life’s journey where it had once flourished.

 

 

 Final Days in Roma

When he was diagnosed with severe cancer last year, he chose to spend his final days in Rome, where he first met my grandmother during one of his adventures. The city was a capsule of happy memories, the place where their love blossomed. Our family respected his wish, accompanying him to relive those cherished moments together. As his strength waned, his eyes still sparkled with the love for life and adventure.

The Memory of My Grandpa


From early childhood lessons in a forest park to comforting words during my teenage struggles and guiding me through my early career challenges, he was my steadfast guide. Each piece of advice he shared helped shape my approach to life's setbacks and adventures. Wearing this necklace, I carry his spirit and lessons with me, a treasured symbol of his enduring love and wisdom.
