You were taken from us.
You were taken from us because I refused to let your mother control my actions, just like your Aunt Shannon refused to dump her boyfriend/fiancé because your Mom did not like him, so your mom banned Aunt Shannon from your life. She does this with anyone who refuses her demands. After she destroyed your Grandmother verbally she then contacted me and said that she still wanted me to be part of your families life, trying to drive a wedge between your Grandmother and I. I refused to play her game, on that I will explain later.
I will be uploading the conversations I had with her that lead to this action. I have no idea if I’ll even be alive when you finally get to see this, if not, know that it was not my choice and I love you to the depth of my being. Your Grandmother loves you as well, she will adding posts to this blog as well.
OK, that out of the way, what I want to include here are pictures of our adventures after we were kicked to the curb, stories of our life, and in general trying to keep our sanity without you in our life. When I say you I mean you and your younger siblings, BTW.
All my love
Crazy Grandpa
Happy Thanksgiving!
For the first time in my 62 years on this rock called earth I have no one but my wife and I to cook for. Felt quite strange. Had rock fish stuffed with crab, quite delightful. So wish I was with you. All my love, gramps.
Happy belated Birthday Madison!
Just wanted to wish my beautiful granddaughter happy birthday and show you the card we sent. I sure hope you got it!
Happy Birthday Luca
I know it a little late, but I had to figure out how I wanted to do this, so in case you didn’t the birthday card we sent, here it is. Know that we love you with every fiber of our being.
Closed the pool today
It was difficult deflating all of your floats today, I tried to cry, but I not good, I bottle feelings way too deep. I did take some pictures for you to remember. The top is all the floors I had to deal with. The middle is Madison’s favorite, and bottom is big green “boat” all…
Thoughts
Hi. I had an image come up on Facebook today from five years ago. It was you Luca. You are not even one years old yet. We (you, grandpa, Madison and your mother) were on a carousal at Kings Dominion. It was a great day. So much fun. I hope I can figure out how…

Good morning, sitting here with my nephew Ed going thru ancestry stuff this morning. Looking a long list of relatives that I never knew. It seems that the older I get the more I want to know about the folks that preceeded me on dirty ball.
9/11/2021
Writing that date reminded of 20 years ago today the Muslims attacked the world trade center, the pentagon and was trying for the Whitehouse. I was working that morning at Performance Food Group. On another note, this morning I bottled 2 cases of Nebbiolo wine and your grandmother and I harvested basil, she is making…
My babies
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…
