Hi Marco -

I hope you are not in pain. I'm so touched you got my postcard, I wasn't sure you would be alert to see it. I'm not sure I mentioned it on my postcard, but I hope to travel to Italy for the first time next Spring. I will think of you.

Hugs,

Sweet Marco, so glad you received my postcard. You should get another one tomorrow, it's also a painting of the coastal shore. I have another stamped & ready to go when the postman comes tomorrow. You must have quite a collection by now! Just a small token of the big love we all have for you dear one. I hope the fever has cleared up - it amazes me how many mystery aches & pains this disease causes. How is your beloved mother? I'm sure she treasures every moment together. Hugs from this mom to yours. And a special hug to your beautiful fiancee. Take care my adopted son, and know that your CC family will always love you. Sending you comfort, peace, and 10,000 kisses.

Good morning Marco,
I hope you are pain free and without fever.
You do not have to thank me for the postcard...I must thank you for the possibility to do it! It is an honor for me to join a special guy as you are.

I'm not so able to write in english (I prefer to speak) but I'm able to read and to understand all the posts in this thread and I'm in perfect accordance with all of them and with all the beautiful words all the guys write to you.
Enjoy your day with your loved ones and a special kiss to your mother.

kisses kisses kisses
Nicoletta

Hello dear Marco,

Much love to you. You are so sweet for thanking us for your postcards - no need dear one. Do not worry if you are not up to it. We do it out of our love for you and we do not expect anything in return. However, I love hearing from you, I worry when you do not post. At the same time I do understand that you must be resting and not always feeling up to posting.

I hope that you are resting comfortably. Always in my thoughts and prayers,

Much love to your mother, father, fiancée and sister.

A big hug and kiss for you,

Michelle xxxx
