They have rolled away the stone.


Well 2940 page views and that’s without any fresh written action in a year. I must say somebody must like me ! I really hope it's not the same lonely dude sitting in a room somewhere with nothing better to do than hit on my blog over and over
again. ( UD is that you ? )
It’s the year 2012. I have to ask where exactly did the years go? Specifically 1987 and 1988? I seem to have
lost some of the details associated with those years. Granted I was single and working full time as a bartender in
lower Manhattan. Living with two quirky roommates a block off the beach in Rockaway. The money was great. The
fringes were better. I will not expound, my children may read this someday.
I have gone through some drastic transitions
this past year. I have grown and morphed, I have loved and learned, hurt and
healed, laughed and cried. I have again changed up on the day job. I have the best job in the world !
Better …. stronger ….. faster …. we can rebuild
him. And we have. Or we soon will.

I have quite recently put my arms around two of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life. These two people have more love to give and more things to share than anyone of us could imagine. The female is a bundle of electricity, determined, stubborn, confident, fast, furious, hungry and ready to pounce at any moment, like a small agile jungle cat.
This tiny human possesses the emotional strength and self-righteousness of Hillary Clinton combined with the studiousness of a young Charles Darwin,multiplied by the whimsy of a tiny Doctor Seuss. She examines and studies, pokes and prods and tastes things like the world depends on it.(and it does) She looks at you like she has all the answers. If God forbid you look away for a second, when you look back you become convinced that she does. (have the answers that is). She has her mother's beauty her father's patience. (sometimes).
She was named after a Saint and a State. She is heavenly and grounded at the same time.
The male is something altogether different. This one reminds me of the uncle. The tall lanky uncle. The people used to talk
about the uncle. They would say he was an "old soul". They would say he knew things innately that was not possible for his age.
This new small male also has these special powers. The power of the ages, the happiness of a thousand laughs, the curiousness of cat pawing at something just out of reach. His physical strength is also something highly unusual. For his age he clutches and grabs like someone twice his size. Left on his own he makes his
way across real estate that would normally require a passport. The eyes reflect an understanding and a recognition that you feel could not be possible from such a young person. Then you catch a sparkle of comprehension that makes you realize…. this boy is blessed.
These two have come to back home to spend some time. it is with great pleasure to have them here under my roof. I will watch them grow. I will love them. I will teach them, and they will teach me.

I Thank You Lord For These Blessings You Have Bestowed Upon Our Home. I ask only that you keep us all safe, healthy and free from harm's way.
Welcome Home to my Son - His Wife and my two beautiful grandchildren. Liam Walter and Clare Dakota.
