MUSINGS
“It is with a heavy heart…”
I’ve never known the true weight of that statement until July 21, 2026. A week after had ice cream with my grandparents, my grandfather passed away. I’m not sure I have a message here, but I want to tell you all about him. And if you had the pleasure of knowing him, I hope these next few lines put a smile on your face.
He was born on a dirt floor to farmers in Delhi, NY. His family moved to Marlboro for the opportunity the Hudson Valley had to offer. He met my grandmother in high school and together, they built the closest thing to the American Dream I have ever seen. He built connections through facetious one-liners. One of my earliest memories is my dad explaining that, “Papa isn’t being mean, he just likes to tease and that’s how he shows he loves you (as if at the age of 4 I hadn’t already realized that I, too, loved to bust chops). He loved to golf, he spent at least half of his retired years on the golf greens. He could fix anything and was strong as an ox. I took him with me while house hunting because, I swear on my life, he could see through the walls and see if there were any problems. When I bought my first home, I bought paint and left it in the bedrooms to complete one wall at a time after work. I came home one day to him finishing the third bedroom by himself. He carved pumpkins every year and dropped them off at my door to surprise his great-grandchildren. He loved the Yankees. One year, my parents gifted him a week of “Fantasy Baseball Camp” where he got to
train and play as a Yankee, uniform and all. He would visit with my dad in the morning and helped him get Connor on the bus. He found out Connor loved strawberries and made sure to bring him some, every morning. He had a work ethic that could only be matched by my father, and one I hope to demonstrate for my own children.
On my 30th birthday, he wrote a simple message in my card: “Time doesn’t stop. Don’t look back.” I know I can’t turn back time, and I know it doesn’t do any good to sit in the past and let life pass you by. So, Papa, I promise to make the most of each day and live by my word. I will show my love through soft verbal jabs, carved pumpkins, and working hard. But what I would give for just one more ice cream date.

Matthew 16: 16-20
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17 “Good for you, Simon son of John!” answered Jesus. “For this truth did not come to you from any human being, but it was given to you directly by my Father in heaven.
18 And so I tell you, Peter: you are a rock, and on this rock foundation I will build my church, and not even death will ever be able to overcome it.
19 I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven; what you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and what you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”
20 Then Jesus ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
