RIP

i know this is a blog about new england & connecticut

but Papa was part of my life wherever i was

RIP

i miss you already

there is a storypeople quote that especially reminds me of you

"He had the gift

of stopping time

& listening well

so that it was easy

to hear who

we could become

& that was the future

he held safe

for each of us

in his great heart

you may ask, what now?

& I hope you understand

when we speak softly

among ourselves

& do not answer

just yet

for our future

is no longer the same

without him"

you supported me in every way, and i hope you're in a place where you can watch me grow into the person you inspired me to become
