30!

Happy Birthday to me… Holy Crap! I’m now 30!?

I don’t really know how to process that thought/fact and I’m not sure why it (or what about it that) bothers me so much. I don’t really feel any older so I guess it’s just that I’m aging and inching towards the end that is the hardest thing to wrap my mind around.

Enough of that stuff… So I’m now 30 and life is pretty darn good.

I am blessed with an awesome wife and son who I adore and help to make life fun. I have a caring, supportive family I know that I can turn to for whatever. I have some great friends. I am part of a great church filled with good fun loving folks. I am also blessed to be in a thriving business I enjoy along with two great friends who help make the monotony of work tolerable.

Life IS good! So I guess I am achieving (or working towards) all that I have set out to do and can’t ask for much more.

Ok here’s a little more I can ask for… I love this little man, he makes me smile!

An Interesting Memory/Story, I don’t want to forget!

Angelo — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 06:53:56 +0000

Recently, my grandfather passed away. I’m sad because in just under a span of two years, both of my grandparents are gone. I love my grandparents DEARLY and I will never forget the HUGE impact they’ve had on my life and I do plan on filling in Dominic on the details.

The reason why I bring this up is to record this memory/story. So with the passing of my grandfather comes the cleaning of the house. While I’m not ready to partake in this, my mother has done a little. She came over the other day and gave me an envelope. I asked her what it was all about and she told me to open it up.

I opened the envelope and in there was a stack of $2 bills clipped to a little yellow note. The note read “Angelo”, the value, and “From Nonna” all written in my grandmother’s handwriting. I immediately felt numb. Not due to the value, which was generous, but from the flood of memories of times in my life that my grandparent’s were generous to me.

It blows me away, my grandmother passed away nearly two years ago and just before Easter. I would assume that my grandmother was preparing little *boosts* for all of her grandchildren which she would’ve probably given to us come that following Easter along with a card where she would write a loving message.

Almost TWO years later my grandmother is STILL GIVING from her heart! She enjoyed collecting $2 bills and since she owned a Pizza Store she often came across them and would save them for her grandchildren.

I’ve never received a posthumous gift before and I’m not sure what to do or even HOW I could possibly thank her. So now, I have these bills, a paper clip and a note and I will save this *gift* for as long as I can.
