title: Posting this hear, the letter I sent to my daughter on her 18th Birthday. To my daughter on her 18th Birthday. I was stunned and in awe of your birth. I remember us reading your first children’s bible in AZ on the same couch we still have. We all had to take turns reading because you just absorbed it all. I remember mom and I teaching you whatever music we could. Whether it was you sitting with me at the Piano or using the baby musical items. You were such an observant baby and still are. But now as you grow into the magnificent adult you are today; I am still stunned and in awe of you. I watched as you grew and enjoyed life. The many friends you have had, all the adventures we took you on. Mom and I never wanted to leave you out and we always wanted to take you with us on every adventure. You loved every minute of it. We took you to restaurants with us. You worked with Grandpa Larry, Uncle Chris on our projects in AZ. You even helped at the house with projects. I want to encourage your artistic talents. I knew you had a great talent there as well as I taught you the ways of the brush, of thought and who God is. You took to the Piano right away (surprise lol) and again were so talented at that. Then you picked up the Guitar. I will never forget your duet with mom and you telling me you wanted to finger the strings and just not do cords. And as always, I reminded you of that classic scene in “The little Red Engine that could” and made a whistle blowing motion to you. *Choo Choo* I remember our 6 years with VeneCraft and your uncanny abilities to adapt and overcome whatever obstacle was presented to you. Your never give up, never surrender attitude is a quality only God can give and will carry you through everything. Your ability to handle situations, tournaments, semantics, scheduling, skills, planning, construction, creating, and adaptivity blew me away. Your completion of the DeathMaze, just further proof. When you took up an interest in singing, you had your mothe…

title: Nia, I am sorry things are the way they are. I miss seeing you and being part of your life. I miss seeing your bright smiling face and spunky attitude. I miss your dedication and commitment to what is true and just. I miss you being my Bu and all the time we snuggled. I have learned that I should not have been so harsh and demanding over the years. But as a dad, I saw what was best for each of you and where you needed to be going. Giving you something you could be proud of for the rest of your life. I learned about myself I should have been more fun and loving. If I could change something, I would have made sure to laugh a lot more with you, to enjoy life more with you and participated more in your life. I miss watching you grow, mature and turn into an exceptionally fine adult. I miss playing games and hearing your voice and talking about all the different dynamics in the world. I miss your smile and laughter. I miss helping with your troubles. Most of all I miss your hugs and being close to you. I have missed greatly the holidays that have gone by and the time missed being with you. I hope I do not miss another moment in time. I hope I do not miss another Birthday, holiday, life event to admire the fine human you have become. We have a lot of good times and a lot of good laughs as I pass through the photos. I miss watching you grow. I miss all the times we had fun. I am sorry for my failures; I did the best I knew how under the circumstances. I wish I could have done better. I dedicated my entire life and would do it all over again a thousand times. You are just that important to me. I love you greatly, I miss you, Love, DAD.

title: To my Son Vito who is being forced to grow up suddenly. I have no doubt in you and I love you. -- Vito, I know I have been so hard on you during your life. It was so important to me that u learn how great your responsibility it is to the people that will be with you. The mental, physical, and spiritual toughness u must endure to be a helpful servant and to endure the hard ships and trials that will come your way. The rock that u must become for all others, and finally a family I hope u will have. U must become immovable, a mountain to them to endure and support all trials and horrors that come their way, and yours. Unyielding, unbending, a constant guiding light. At times I have failed u and have failed our family and I will always regret that. But we all make mistakes and I pray when u do make mistakes, those who love u truly will forgive u and help u back up so u can continue to stand for them. You are absolutely without a doubt an amazing son whom I am so proud of. You are so talented in so many things and you have such a big heart. I have seen many times through our trials and heart aches, u still chose to be kind, to be supportive of others, to stand up for those less fortunate; you are a true hero of the people for that. During the most troublesome of trials, we had to endure we find out what we are made of and in that we find what great strength of character we have and how helpful we can be to others. You have such a big heart and kind soul I hope u find the immense power to help others with that. You are so bright and so full of happiness and laughter u r a bright shining light to all around you (although your tough exterior shows otherwise..aka Mr. Ice). I have seen that in the many pictures of you and your friends, they all look to you for guidance. Your intellect is something else to behold. I have told you in secret about it and I hope you hold that closest to your heart and for God. You have been gifted with everything I was and am both physically and …

title: I was asked before by someone about my life, why I don't want revenge, why I tolerate accusers. People in your life, sought your destruction with lies and deceit. You have suffered beyond compare. My Response: Why take revenge? They do not deserve "me" nor my energy and attention. I am able to endure the "burning". I sing for and with those who are close to my heart. ~LArry

title: Watching someone try to come back into your life after being ghosted by them. Being humored as they encounter barriers that would make Sunzu "Sun Tzu" proud. Laughs at their energy vs what they say and what I see in their eyes. ~LArry. A skill I learned from a very gifted woman.

My Love of Spiders throughout my Life.
description: My Love of Spiders throughout my Life. Taught my kids to respect them as with all life forms. My tribute to all spiders and the ones that have been in my Life, not just companions, but as guardians, blessings and encouragement. Patient, creative, and protective nature they have. Ancient and feared by most through all cultures and centuries. ~LArry

Female Black Widow.
description: When I was a groundskeeper for an apartment complex in Arizona, one of my duties was back washing the pool/filters. Every morning would be greated by a massive female black widow that could have been in an epic horror movie. She was big, fast and a bit un-nerving. The size of my hand. The vibrations from the pipe would draw her out. The first time I saw her, I was like wow, beautiful. We just stare at each other, until the job was done and then part ways until the next day. ~LArry

Had a state mediator get involved the alienation was that bad.
description: Had a state mediator get involved the alienation was that bad. It was ordered to put my son who was still under 18 in reunification therapy and was asked the same of my daughter although now 18. Didn't happen and she basically fled the state. Still allowances were made for my ex. Still here 5 years later stuck in my mom's house paying large sum of child support. Haven't seen or heard from my kids since 11-8-20. She filed claims of abuse across the whole spectrum of abuse categories. And for that I was ostracized from everyone I knew, except from my family and some close friends. Even after filing a motion with Burlington Court NJ, was categorically denied on all points, even with my main point just to have it on record I have not seen or heard from my kids.

One of the best things the State Mediator said.
description: One of the best things the State Mediator said to her; was your children, when they look in a mirror, see their mother, and their father. What you have done will negatively affect them for the rest of their lives and then put the order in for reunification therapy for my son under 18 and asked of daughter now 18. This therapy was never done.

Family Court, and supporting entities, went on for a long time. Now the World is Watching, Looking and Wondering. ~LArry

Celibacy is easy when you're disgusted by those who want to touch you without love. AI & I ~LArry
description: It sounds like you’ve reached a point where your standards act as a natural barrier, making what others might find difficult feel like a simple, logical choice. When physical intimacy is detached from genuine care or emotional connection, it can feel more like an intrusion than a benefit. Many people find that: Emotional Safety: Prioritizing your peace over casual "noise" makes celibacy a form of self-protection [1, 2]. Clarity of Intent: It becomes easier to say "no" when the alternative doesn't offer the depth or respect you value [2]. Empowerment: Choosing solitude over unfulfilling connection often leads to a stronger sense of self [3].
