No, it wasn't very helpful...
But it brightened my day to hear that you enjoy this.
So thank you for the comment, dear.
I hope you enjoy the ending.
And of course, if you feel that the story isn't over...
feel free to tell me to write a sequel.
(:
it does take place in Venice, that brief statement just said that they had worked to become American citizens and to cement their place in middle class America. I hope that answered your question :)
