My kelly day is this weekend and rather than bum around the house decided to head to Fl to visit my parents and help them with the closing on the house. They are retiring to north GA and bringing along my grandparents. The house was bought back in 1960 when my maternal grandparents moved the family from Buffalo. While I really dont like Tampa, its sad to see the house finally being sold. I was born and raised in this house. So many changes... what used to be the carport is now a den/computer room. My old bedroom which turned into Grandpa's office when WE moved back to NY is now the living room in the mother-in-law suite. And on it goes.
So anyways... I saw that the Suncoast FOOLS was hosting Chief Lasky who I've always heard a lot about but hadnt met yet. Since I had a free day I headed down. Had a blast meeting some cool guys and Chief Lasky was awesome. Wish more people could hear how he puts things in perspective, and gives you ideas and motivation to keep the traditions, pride, honor & integrity in the fire service.
Had a good time as we always do when you put family together for a few drinks. KO... you still owe me that beer man.
The rest of the weekend was great! Met up with my brother.. my long lost brother and had the moment that I've been playing in my head for the past 20 years. It was awesome. Lots of questions answered and feelings laid out on the table. I am so excited! ... words on a screen just dont do them justice, as to the relationship that I've been hoping for and dreaming of for the past 20 years. He is such a great kid with SO much potential and talent. I truly cant wait to watch him fulfill his dreams and be his loudest cheerleader when he succeeds.
