Breakdown at Work

I just had to get this out there...

At times when I am at work and I hear certain songs on the radio or cd player (yes, cd not mp3), I freeze and almost start to bawl my eyes out.

Today it was the Rascal Flatts Single ''Here Comes Goodbye'' - I was overcome with thoughts about my daughter Fairlight. I miss her sooooo much sometimes.

Goodbye comes too soon for some and for all those parents out there who have had to say that terrible word to their child...it's ok to cry. And cry a lot.

Until we get to the place where there will be no more tears, may the God of all comfort show you His love.

Grandpa Vitko's worklife

Saw a video of a wartime film (1944) featuring my hometown of Youngstown. It showcases the place my grandpa worked at. In 15 minutes I learned more than he could have ever told me about his job.

I think about the price he paid so his kids and grandkids could have a better life.

I need to remember the blast furnace when I complain about how cold the A/C is in the building where I sit in front of a computer and drink coffee to work.

Thank you God for my grandpa.
