Shepherds Day, Umbria Photo Workshop - a Celebration, not a Mourning

Today May 9th would have been our day with the Shepherds on our Umbria Photo Workshop. For the last five years Francesco, Danilo, Claudia and Claudia, Federico, their friends, children, sheep and dogs have welcomed us so warmly at their farm. Since our visit last year, Francesco and Claudia have gotten married, and we would have celebrated their happiness this year. This year's workshop has been postponed until next year, and it will be ever more sweeter. I have a lump in my throat as I post this. Trying to feel blessed with what we have, which is friendship, beautiful memories, and hope - and not to mourn what we dont have, right now in time. We love you, Basili family!
