Miss you :/<br />Chris: Yeah it's funny how we have totally different relationships with them. And that's a good point about totally taking control of a life-shattering situation. And. I'm not sure that if Grandpa had stayed with Nonna, he'd have ended up the way he is. I think the religious fervor may have emerged out of severe guilt and need for self-justification. And that he just went off the deep end. He's another infinitely interesting one...Working on blog about Grandpa/Pop-Pop, but I need more research. Hope Well is well.

Its funny how on one hand she is this crazy lady who watches o'reilly factor and obsesses about finding the culprit behind the toilet clog, and on the other she is this impressively intelligent sassy italian mama who loves all of her babies and buys them stuffed dogs from L&T. I also love how both women basically assumed control over their respective families after the divorces. I wonder how different it would have been growing up if grandpa or pop pop was there. I guess we would have gotten more Jesus videos.

And even if you ...You're doing so well, kiddo. And even if you are going through your literal and figurative blue phase, well blue really suits you. Seriously. That pale turquoise tee really set off your lovely dark eyes and hair.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889294120616809157noreply@blogger.com
