Well, Grandpa started this blog for all of you. Neither of us know if we will be alive when you finally read it. I want you to know that it was NEVER EVER my choice. All of you are my very world. The forced estrangement has hurt me so very deeply. You can’t even imagine the pain that I’m in. I just want all of you to know that I love you fiercely. I also love your mother. She is my daughter. She had things happen to her which has caused some mental and emotional in-balances within her. Don’t get me wrong, she is a terrific mother. However, she is a very hurt and hate filled daughter. I hope one day she goes to counseling and faces down her demons.
You all used to call your Grandpa, Crazy Grandpa, then he would say Crazy Madison then Luca would say Crazy Grandma. We would have so much fun. This summer of 2021, Luca – you learned to swim and by July were jumping off the side of pool and swimming underwater. Madison, you swam to me or Grandpa or your mother from the ladder and then back. You were starting to swim underwater. Liam, you were terrified of the pool at first. When we first put you in, you screamed like we were killing you. It was hysterical. However, you soon liked the pool and had bright yellow float to float around the pool in. Davina, you LOVE the pool. You also have a bright yellow float and kick your legs to get around. I would take you out of the float and teach you to swim. Liam, you were not having any of that!! Davina, I think if the estrangement had not happened, you would have been swimming by the end of the summer. Ariana, I’m so sorry that I never got to meet you or got to know you.
