I squeezed out of the narrow opening of the car door into the wind, grabbing on to the railing to step up to a big ledge just centimeters from the edge of the car. We had found a parking spot in front of the hospital in Castiglione, and when such a good parking spot is found one climbs over seats, squeezes out and smiles. Wow, a parking spot! I glanced quickly down at the choppy sea before running around the car and helping my husband out. It was his first outing in a month and a half. I had hoped for better weather for him, but at least it wasn’t raining. The strong scirocco wind was warm and had whipped the sea up overnight. After a positive visit with the physiatrist, we piled back into the car to head home. I took a deep breath of salty air and noticed a patch of sunshine had burst through the clouds. Life has been a bit rough lately, but my husband is recovering and there’s definitely sunshine.

It was great for him to be able to get out and see some of his friends in Amalfi – even if for just a few minutes. The crowd of people around him was like a movie star had arrived. It really cheered him up!
