Pop Pop

I didn't want to write this!  In doing so, it feels like I'm closing a chapter of my life.  It's painful to know that you have been gone since New Year's Eve.  The thing is I keep remembering your mannerisms- how you ate a banana with your pills, scraping the bowl for every Cheerio or is that me?  How you'd tell me to think and not give while doing The Sun-Sentinel crossword puzzle.  You'd always give me the Sports page after you read it yourself.   I will miss our sports discussions.  You loved your Dolphins.  Super Bowl Sunday or the NFL Draft won't be the same.  I have so many memories of us together that make me smile, and yet shed a tear.  As I remember and reminisce, I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge how much of you resides in me.  When I go into the world they're are to two things I'd like:  For Christ to be seen in me, and for someone to say, "Leo, sure would be smiling with pride."  My Pop Pop, you made the dash count.

A legacy of love,

Gigi loves you

Life lessons

It moves at its own speed
It does not consult you.  It just happens.
The sweetest moments sometimes coincide with the saddest once-hence the word bittersweet.
I want to say so much, yet don't know how

God didn't give me a spirit of timidity, of fear.
God Bless,
R

It's 4am

I can't sleep...coughing with cough drops...enjoying reading while the tv is playing in the background.  Any favorite teas or soups?
God Bless,
