Never Underestimate An Italian Woman

My aunt Lena lived to be 103 ...
~~~~~~~
I Don’t Hold Grudges’ In her second century, Louise “Nonnie”
Bonito is still making meatballs.
You may know Louise “Nonnie” Bonito as the grandma from a 2015
viral video: Nonnie sits in front of an enormous cake with big
blocky candles that spell out “102.”

When she tries to blow them out, she accidentally rockets her
dentures from her mouth; they go skittering across the table
while she laughs. Now 107 years old, Nonnie is living through
her second pandemic. Until Connecticut’s stay-at-home order took
effect in March, she hosted weekly Sunday dinners for her
massive family — she has five children, 11 grandchildren, and 19
great-grandchildren, according to her daughter, Camille Addario.
The steady stream of visitors has slowed over the past two
months, and Camille suspects that, for Nonnie, this has been the
most confusing part of the coronavirus crisis: People can’t come
to see her nearly as often, and Nonnie doesn’t always remember
why.
Still, she never liked to dwell on the negative. Despite a rocky
marriage to “the love of her life,” despite his habitual
cheating, and despite abuse, “she was not bitter at all,”
Camille explains. “Through all her ups and downs — and there
were a lot of downs, raising five children on her own — she kept
a very positive and very forgiving attitude.”

I take every day as it comes. I don’t hold grudges because if
you hold a grudge, you keep thinking and thinking and thinking.
Finally you say: “What did I get mad for?” With all that my
husband did against me, I still don’t hate him. Everybody used
to say, “What a wonderful husband you have. He’s such a good
tipper, and he’s so nice.” I said, “You don’t know my husband.”
I was just recently married to him, and one word led to another,
and he hit me so hard that I went backward. I said, “This is the
first and the last time you’re putting a hand on me.” I grabbed
ahold of Sally, and I left the house. I got as far as the
corner; all of a sudden, I felt a hand on my back. He wanted me
to come back. I said, “You hit me once, you’re never going to
hit me again.” But what he did after that was worse than getting
a slap in the face.
Her husband forced her into three illegal abortions. Before the
last procedure, Bonito remembers talking to him: I said, “No
more abortions. That’s it!” No questions; he didn’t even ask me.
He said, “Come on, I’m taking you out.” I said, “Where are you
taking me?” “Oh, I want to surprise you.” And all the while, he
was planning on taking me to a woman who would give me an
abortion. I said, “This is wrong.” But he’s my husband; what am
I going to do? So I had the abortion. That was the time I was in
bed for a week.
Her husband eventually left her and their five children, After
he remarried, he’d still show up on her doorstep. He says, “Come
on, let’s go on the couch.” I says, “Oh yeah? I’ll tell you
where we’ll go. Get the hell out of here.” He didn’t want to
hear it.
[b]So I took an aluminum pitcher and I hit him on the head. I’ve
still got it, that pitcher with the bump in it.
A lot of people get away with things they shouldn’t. I just let
it go. That’s how I survived. I don’t hold grudges. But maybe
sometimes I should, and whoever comes, give ’em a kick in the
ass.
