Lily, Lily. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story of love. I’m so grateful you continue to find your way with Roberto. And share these moments with us. The world you chose is more “grande” than the one you left.💚

Thank you so much for reading and appreciating, Mary! How did you know about my Substack? I’m still trying to figure out how to share or how readers find me!

Cool People Night People member. Not exactly sure how Substack works but I’ll remind CPNP you are doing. I don’t always read right away but then binge on past posts. I love the glimpses into your life, and art. You are a good writer, Lily, and know how to distill the savor of your day-to-day experiences. 💚 from Michigan.

Wonderful. It brings to mind a friend who miniature-models all sorts, starting with his garden shed. If only I had the technical knowhow to send you a picture... All I can do is send it with the rather poor poem that accompanies it...

You have definitely honored your friend with this poem and the photos. I’ll show them to Roberto as he loves seeing works from other crazy miniaturists 😊
