Eggs


Good Morning! Thankfully my job doesn’t have a really set schedule, so get to sleep in sometimes. It’s nice to wake up to the great weather we’re having these days. It both reminds me of fall and spring. The beginning or end of the school year. I was getting out of bed and just wondering how you got a 10 year old, a 5 year old, a 4 year old and a 3 year old ready in the morning while getting yourself together. That’s downright amazing to me. I can only imagine the mayhem you must’ve witnessed all the while probably just taking a moment and smiling and saying, “I love this life…” My hope is that what you did. Maybe somewhere in between the girls going into the notorious sock drawer to find two matching socks or me learning how to style my own hair, ha. The Spike compliments of Bob @ Village Styling. It is a really nice day here in Manayunk. Recently don’t really feel like it’s my “home” any more. Lots of things planned for the upcoming month. A few international trips. Looking forward to my first cruise and really appreciative of Joe and Colleen’s thoughtfulness. We are all getting excited for the trip. We know that one person will be missing. I know we will all take some time to remember you and celebrate you. Maybe we can send you down the zip line or take you snorkeling! Ha. I think Kathy is going to hit the zip line. I hope her “hat” doesn’t fall off. Hehe. Anyhow, I am going to be heading over to London in a week or so. Just felt the need to get away from the city and take a trip. So I’m going to head over there and see the fam and some friends. Just need another trip. I plan on working over there. Not sure where I am staying as of yet, but probably bounce around. Pop is doing better. Easter was nice. It was great to see all the kids and aunts and uncles and other family. Man was it hot. You would’ve loved the weather. Really was nice. And Bia and Lisa did a great job and the food was AMAZING. It was really a nice get together. We all realized that someone was missing, but I know you were all around us that day. We could feel the energy. The positivity. The laughter. I think that’s what I keep hearing. Your laugh. We have some family events coming up as well. I will be away for them, but they’re pretty important and it’s great to see. Just a lot going on. I don’t feel like you are missing it because I feel like you are all around us. You definitely would be driving over to Heather’s right about now. Well, you’d be there by now. I would’ve gotten a call around 10am. Like clockwork. Life is going as good as it can be right now. I know now that we are in another club of sorts. Not another club I ever wanted to be in, but we are in it nonetheless. And I know that not many people understand how this all feels until you really go through it. Many will say this and that, but they really don’t “get it” until they’ve had to go through it; well, you know what I mean. Phils aren’t doing much. Sixers won their first playoff series and killed the Nets in the last game. It was a good night. Having a pretty chill week at work. “do my 8 and skate” hahaha. I know we all have taken strength from what happened. It’s just a hard way to gain strength. I guess everyone goes through their own battles and what not. Some definitely harder than others. Well, keep looking down on us and blessing us with those little signs. I do really appreciate them dearly. I see them all the time and I stop and just think for a second. Love you Mom. Bobby

Not that I would ever want to write about that day in any way, but that day, I guess, well, we all were somewhere, with someone, seeing history, unfortunately be made. I will never forget that morning. There was literally not a cloud in the sky. I guess I was like 24. I know I was working at Vanguard by then. I am pretty sure. I remember, that day, I was just sitting out front, cause it was so comfortable about on Grant Rd. The sun was perfect. The sky perfect. You must've been somewhere in the house. Not that you could get lost. I remember Dad was in his work jeans and sitting upright on his bed. I think all the girls were in school. I was done college. I have this idea of going back into the house and a "oh my God..." or a "Bob, what is going on..." For some reason I remember Dad just being fixated on the Sony screen. There weren't many words to echo during the time the planes were hitting. I remember one thing...the two of you on the bed, the brown and li

The Working Girl

Thinking back to all the jobs you worked. I am amazed you could ever work a full time job anywhere with the five of us. And you started when we were all still pretty young. I remember the Island Road Super Fresh. Man. I can see myself walking in those front doors and going straight cause your deli counter was straight ahead. I would always do two things. Dip my finger in the pickle barrel and then ask you for a slice of cheese. You always gave me one. You would let me run around in the back and we would say hi to all the butcher and deli people. “Hi So and So, this is my son Bobby…” As years went it was, “These are my kids….Bobby, Lisa, Chrissy…” Ha. Next thing I know I am finishing out my senior year and I start a job at UPS. I don’t know why, but then also asked if you could get me a job at Super Fresh. By this time you were working at the 10th and South store. Man, what a cool place to work. I remember being so nervous cause I was starting on shifts you weren’t working and working w

Sometimes I can’t

I  can’t tell you how much I miss you cause you won’t hear me. I can’t tell the sorrow Bia and I expressed over her not being able to share Lucy with you. I think of you two being little buddies and all you are missing out on. I don’t so much think of myself. I think of how much Dad misses you. I think of how much the house misses you. I get some hard tears at how much I miss you. My Lord. Seeing Kane be such a great big brother to Ace. Just the fact me and Bia living so close together in the same area and thinking “Mom would’ve liked us being this close”. I just wanted to hug you this weekend. I will always remember my b day dinner we had at The Erin. It’s somewhat heartbreaking cause I remember hugging you. So hard. And you said it was just a little something. I opened it. But then brought it home and never opened it again after what happened. I was just so heartbroken. I still am. I saw a picture of you celebrating a 21st with Nicole (how are you). It all went so fast. I miss you an
