Every Sky, With You

My dearest Enzo,

I carry you with me everywhere I go. Even when we travel, even when we fly, you are never left behind. You live in my heart, in my breath, in the quiet moments when the world slows down and I finally allow myself to feel how much I miss you.

Some journeys are no longer about distance for me. They are about learning how to breathe again without you beside me, learning how to move forward while my heart still looks back. Grief has changed the way I walk through life, ahya. It has made everything softer, heavier, and more sacred all at once.

I want you to know that we don’t travel to escape the pain of losing you. We travel because I trust that God meets us everywhere… even in the sky, even in the waiting, even in the moments when my tears fall quietly and no one else can see. When the plane lifts off, I close my eyes and imagine you close to God, safe, whole, and wrapped in a love greater than anything I, tigether with dad and Vito, could ever give.

There are days when my faith feels strong, and days when it feels fragile. But I have learned that faith doesn’t mean I stop hurting. It means I keep loving you while trusting that God is holding both of us… me here with dad and Vito, and you there with Mama Mary and Jesus. I speak your name in my prayers. I offer my longing to God, believing that one day, all that aches will make sense.

Enzo, you taught me to find joy in the simplest things music, laughter, trying even when you weren’t sure, loving with your whole heart. I carry those lessons with me now. When I take another step, when I board another flight, when I face another day, I do it with your courage beside me.

And I keep living for all your dreams, your love, and your enthusiasm. When I watch Vito, I see how deeply you have influenced him… how you taught him to face uncertainty with courage and to chase his dreams fiercely. Even without words, I know he continues working toward the future you and he once dreamed of together.

Until the day we meet again, my son, walk with me in spirit. Guide me when the road feels heavy. Remind me that love never ends, it only changes form. I love you beyond words, beyond time, beyond every sky I cross. I love you to infinity and beyond 😘❤️🐼

Forever, Mom 🤍
