A trip that shaped a lifetime

By Kallie VenturiniPublished 13 days ago 1 min read

Father of Psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud once said that the father isn't just a parent; he's a crucial psychological force who introduces limits, shapes morality. Often think about how wonderful of a Father my husband is to our children. Though his childhood wasn’t perfect, Freud describes that a moment can shape you for a lifetime. Im writing in my diary today reflecting on a moment I think shaped my husband into the father he is today. The cover photo is a picture of my father in law with a beautiful fast car in Italy. This moment I believe from reading Freud is what shaped my husband into the man he is today. If you look closely in the picture you will see my husband taking the picture of his father. Just like Freud describes a mirror into our soul, in that moment he was too a mirror of his father. Who himself isn’t a perfect man but a trying man. This father son trip, shaped my husband and mirrored the life he wanted. Not the fancy vacation but the small moments like this picture of him with his father, the laughs they shared with his grandmother Teresa, who years later wrote in a letter I have framed that she too often thought bout all the laughs they shared on that trip. Those small moments will never be forgotten. When I look at the father my husband is today, i believe like Freud is because of a small moment in Italy that mirrored a lifetime of love.
