Birthday parties

Sometimes I wonder... what would we be doing today if Alberto was still alive. And I have no definite answer. I cannot fathom what would have happened with our job, with our everyday life, with our money, with our house. 

But today is one of the very few days I am absolutely sure where and what we would be doing: preparing Alberto's birthday party. Being today a Tuesday, probably we would have invited people over for the weekend, starting on Thursday (which is Ferragosto) until Sunday.

Pizza, barbecue, water pistols, binge watching movies and/or TV series, videogames and chats... so many hours spent chatting! These are the memories I have of past birthday parties, and I'm sure we would have forged new memories like those.

If only Alberto was here today.
