“I was close to my mom and my dad. My birthday is June 6th, he was June 7th so I was born close to his birthday. When I talked to him he went back to Sicily because he couldn’t deal with the fact my mom–they were best friends, they had been married 51 years–he went back to Sicily and he facetimed me over there–it’s like a day ahead so it was his birthday but it was my birthday here, and we sang happy birthdaY to each other and he died on the 9th..um I don’t have closure on that, so it’s really painful. I’m just trying to live, trying to move forward.”
