from my trip to Northern Italy in April 2016
Votive candles in the basilica of Como. It is a widespread tradition to light a candle in Catholic churches, either in memory of a loved one or as a gift to a Saint, or both ...
Though I'm not Catholic, I dedicate these candles to my late father, who died on this day 28 years ago.

@Phil Morris: Sorry about your mother, too! Mine died 5 years before my dad, so that's 33 years ago - though it seems like last week ...
@Rick: My father was 83 when he died, but it was unexpected and came as a shock. But I guess that's always the case ...
@Denny Jump Photo: Thanks, Denny, as always! Yes, even though it's been such a long time the gap is still there ...
@Francisco Romero: I'm sorry to hear it, Francisco. 97 is a blessed age ...
@fateme@@: Thank you, Fateme!
