Don't worry about telling your age--I'm older by several years. <BR/><BR/>It would be nice if your kids decided to follow some of their heritage as they get older. They would enjoy the Palermo area and all it offers--we did. I think children, as they grow up, tend to be more introspective and what is important to them changes.<BR/><BR/>We lived right outside St. Louis many years ago and so claim affinity to MO. We liked it.<BR/><BR/>I hope to hear from you some more.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702540235066625767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005615.post-85710785375993917942008-08-12T17:46:00.000-07:002008-08-12T17:46:00.000-07:00Ciao again,I live in Kansas City, Mo. for the past...Ciao again,<BR/>I live in Kansas City, Mo. for the past 40 years. My first 14 yrs. in the province of Palermo. I just told you my age!<BR/>I regret not taking my kids when they were little and now as adults they need to develop their own desire & passion.<BR/>Maybe, there's hope for my future grandkids. That's it, you're my role model,I hope to do just what you're doing with Casey.<BR/><BR/>Carole (una Siciliana)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005615.post-22089784404255198592008-08-11T01:13:00.000-07:002008-08-11T01:13:00.000-07:00Dear Anonymous, who are you?

Casey is the most amazing,lucky little boy!<BR/>And now to be thought of as an Italian boy because of his language skills is awesome. It shows what a great job you've done in raising him because he adjusts well in other cultures and the confidence that he has now will carry him thru his adult life.<BR/>I wouldn't blame you to entertain the idea of having him live with his other family.<BR/>He's more Italian than my own kids who have a Sicilian born mother.<BR/>They have no desire to learn the language or even visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005615.post-76207387823025746372008-08-08T20:27:00.000-07:002008-08-08T20:27:00.000-07:00Oh Jane, what a lovely read!
