dio come ti amo-god how much I love you

Luciana & John had been together for 20 years. They had their share of fights but their love seemed to be endless. Sadly, John was notified that he had to go overseas to fight for his country. Luciana understood the importance of her husband fighting for their country but she could not bare the thought of something happening to him. She knew it was something that he had to do, so she had to learn to be optimistic & go with the flow. Luciana tried to make the best of the last days with her husband. It just seemed so devastating to know that her husband was going away & may never come back. She was so worried. Although she never told him how she felt, he knew. But it was something he had to do, in honor of his country. The next day John left. His parting words to his wife were:"dio come ti amo." which mean:god how much I love you in Italian. Luciana was so affected by his words, she would never forget him & his words. She also knew that he meant what he said & she felt the same. Luciana felt as though her life was no longer worth living. She fell into a deep depression, which she did not expect. Although the days seem to pass ever so slowly in Luciana's mind, she seemed to recuperating. After a month Luciana slowly moved on with her life & was adjusting. Although she did worry that she had not heard from him, but she remained positive. Several months had passed & still no word on John. She wasn't panicking, she was actually very calm. She had met a man named Carmine at the grocery store, he asked her out on a date & she said yes. They seemed to have a lot in common & she wanted to get John off her mind, so it seemed like a great idea. Although it had only been a few months Luciana had given up hope on John returning. She went on several dates with Carmine & they seemed to really hit it off. After 3 months they decided to get married, Luciana was elated with her new husband. It had been a year since John had went away, she never heard from him & just assumed he would never return. On a Sunday afternoon Luciana received a call saying that John was in critical condition & would not make it. She was in shock. Her whole day was ruined, she could not believe that he was alive all this time & now he was dying. Carmine tried to console her but it only made her feel even worse, she felt guilty she found love with someone else & had given up hope on John. After several hours of sobbing the door bell rang. Carmine answered it, it was John. Carmine knew right away but John had no idea who Carmine was. They got acquainted & John was devastated that Luciana moved on. John was so frustrated he was fighting the war with Luciana on his mind, he was going to make it home to her & then everything would be worth while. But she didn't wait for him, his fear became a reality. He lashed out breaking everything in sight. Luciana heard the noise & ran downstairs to see what was all the commotion. When she saw John she fainted, she could not believe her eyes. She woke up & realized that it was all a dream.
