But My MIL told me Padre Bianchi just passed away . I gone blank for a few seconds. And feel very sad. I SHOULD send the postcards earlier so he could see it! We knew that he was already got bypass operation in his heart twice. And he told me my self that he might not be able to see us again the next time we will go to Italy. He told me that he is old and not that healthy , he told me that he got heart surgeries a few times before. But I never thought he will leave us so soon.
That was the first and the last chance I got to know him. I met him a few times before and after the baptism . But my MIL told me many wonderful stories about him. He helped my grand mother in law during hard times, paid the house rent, support the children ( my dh's cousin) and many other wonderful things the did to my IL's family. He worked for the poor for most of his life. He was an amazing human being.
My dh also spent many years helping him during church services. So it means a lot for us that Padre Bianchi can baptized Maya. It was an honour for our family to know a wonderful man like him.
My Grandmother In law hasn't been told yet about this sad news . Because she is very fond of him , their share many up and down together. My GMIL also not in very good health , so the sad news will make her health become worst.My MIL told me don't be sad , he is in much better place now and don't worry he will see Sabah anyway. He doesn't need to see the postcards that I sent. He will see it somehow.
It actually made me even more SAD!
Arrivederci Padre Bianchi!
