This is Carolina. She was at Joe's wedding a couple of week's ago, and she is close with him and his family. Because of that, I have been blessed to have known her for a little over a year. She is like an Italian mother figure type of friend, and the woman who inspired me to help at my church. She does so much community work and beautiful things for other people, that I couldn't help but be inspired by her and do what I could, also, for the people around me. She also lost her husband of 36 years just two years ago of an unexpected heart attack, and even though he was the love of her life, she presses on and does not feel sorry for herself. That too, is inspiring. Made me want to say to you---make sure to take heed of your elders. Their wisdom, their advice, their life stories. They have much to teach you. And you, in turn, can pass it down to the generations behind you.
