After all my family has been thru since my brothers passing Feb 1.2013 this baby is much needed for them happiness and joy all the smiles they bring, My Brother would of been the best grandfather ever, he so wanted to be a grandfather so bad his first but I know he is with this baby to be and he is so happy for her arrival Yes, its a girl I try and look at each day I am alive and wake up for my sleep as being thankful and grateful. I have days I wake up and say Thank-you God I am alive. I often think of my brother David that died in his sleep or at least that's what we believe, I mean all we know is when 6am came and it was time to wake up he was dead, we know it was a sudden and unexpected I mean 44 and dead of a massive heart attack is very unexpected. I seem to relate everything that happens back to his death in other words if this didn't happen then that wouldn't of happened. and I also notice that things that have happened since his death all tend to happen around the date of his death or his birthday. I am Thankful I wake up every day, I have responsibilities that I have and I cant neglect them I need to be here and alive.
I actually am thankful for trees I just love trees I think they are so mysterious and they have been here for over 200 years I think that's interesting in in it self I think wow my great great grandmother touched that tree, there's always something to be Thankful for When you were growing up was Sunday a day or rest in your home? Was it a family day ? Did your mom cook a big Sunday Dinner? Thats how it was for me. I think for most people it was that way. Of course not every Sunday was sunshine and lollipops we had our family problems like other families did but I remember as a family all going to the mall my Dad driving the car it would be me and my Mother, Brother and we would pick up my Sister and my Niece we would hang at the mall for hours sometimes grab a hot dog, or go for Sunday drives it really was nice. Sunday also meant after we ate Sunday Dinner we would have our Sunday night bath to get ready for School for Monday we would watch he Lawrence Welk show or The Wonderful World Of Disney . Our T.V was black and white , there were no remote controls you got up to change the T.V or to shut the T.V off, there were rabbit ear antennas to get a signal sometimes you would wrap aluminum foil on the antenna for a better reception. It was just the good old days.
Today I am gonna make Portuguese soup its the recipe that my Mother made and her Mother made Im sure theres recipes out there for Portuguese soup but mine is mine and I will share it with you guys as soon as i type it up and we will just hang at home today gonna be hot and humid. My Teenager loves Portuguese soup Have a happy Sunday I have so much to say I don't know were to begin, As I mentioned friends of mine from Fb came for a visit from Ontario,Canada. they drove from there and have been on a road rip of a lifetime but one of the stops was Boston,MA and that's were we step in. We took them for a tour of the north end o Boston yesterday walked 5 miles thru side streets and alleys, Faneuil Hall, North End, Boston Common all over. I cant even begin to tell you the places we seen and sights they loved my Boston the architect, the History, the Food just everything we went to Cheers, the Old North Church was amazing I live here and I'm still thinking about how great yesterday was. Im gonna upload some pictures for you to see
i have to share this i dont care had such a bad day i seen a message on my chat from some stranger saying hey silva whats up im back at fob shank(afghanistan) i messaged the kid back and said i'm sorry my brother has passed away etc,,,,so for the past hr me and this kid have been messaging eachother back and forth, He told me " I will never forget your brother we were on a mission one night and I didn't have my gear and armour i was a army interpreter, your brother had my back and said here ill take care of you and My Brother gave this kid his body armour WOW!!!!! some how his kid was put into my life today to tell me how fucking brave and unselfish my brother was with his army buddies this kid is 25 this was 2010
a little history my brother died at home 2/2013 of a heart attack in his sleep, he was in the Army, stationed in Afghanistan, There's so many stories I don't know but I do know a lot my brother told me one when he was in a IED explosion and saved his battle buds life my brother got the purple heart for that , these buds remained friends even after the army my brother and so many more suffered from PTSD . My brother would tell me i hear the voices of ppl dieing I hear my friends screaming help, and i have nightmares seeing what I seen , it seems from the above message my brother even took his own body armour off to protect a fellow battle bud its amazing for some reason that bad day I was having must of come in to play with receiving a fb message from a old friends of my brothers, he couldn't believe he died, he was telling me how much of a hard time he has having since home so maybe god worked and this kid needed me and my brother its all intertwined so I guess the nice time I complain about heat and my thumb , I shouldn't remember my brother and this mission with his friend John |
