“I am waiting for my sister Annette to arrive from Seattle. We are all going to have an unveiling ceremony of the painting together, including the whole family, 5 sisters, brother, mom and dad.  [The painting is a portrait done on New Year’s Day, 2006, of the 4 sisters present at Mii amo, plus a brother and another sister who were not present but represented.] We are all excited. I will send a picture to you as soon as the unveiling is complete. 

“My sisters and I had the greatest time with you and with each other.  It was such a moving experience, one I know I will never forget. We learned so much about ourselves and each other, and we frequently talk among us about it. I hope we all met again.  Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.”                                                                                                    Maria Orbinati
