I had 3 that song! It was the only Italian song my mother had ever sung. I could always see her 4 the kitchen sink and hear her singing as she washed the dishes.
After receiving Mike's gift, I 5 brought it to my mother and asked her the 6 of the lyrics (歌词). She said a man is singing about his love for the sea. Her response 7 my curiosity, and I gave it no further thought.
In 2018, my mother's health started to 8, and most of her memories seemed to have been 9. She had to lie in bed all day and could hardly recognize me.
I took the music box to her apartment, hoping the melody would help her bring back memories. I sat by her 10 as my daughter Rachelle and my grandson, Nicholas, looked on. I held it to her ear and it slowly played its melody. When the melody 11, she said "Again…"
