Morning Dad. I cant believe I haven't been on here since March. This is just an added way of me talking to you since I talk to you everyday. You know I am doing the best I have in a very longtime and like Mary has said time and time again....I know you are proud of me. I had my final interview for Peer Specialist yesterday. My start date this Monday and i am so excited to give something back "paying it forward". Graduation from DC on the 18th was such a wonderful, miraculous day and having the kids there and friends that have become family, was amazing. I had said I wished you could have been there, a very important person told me.. YOU WERE! I have let all judgmental people out of my life and it is so freeing. Like you have said to me, It is their lose. I am actually working with a reporter from the Lowell Sun. We are soon publishing an article about my accomplishments but more importantly reaching out to others to hopefully give hope and save life's. Kids are all doing well. Karrington is babysitting and is the social 8th grader, Jenna is doing gymnastics and cant wait for football next year, Jake has started football, Captain again. He looks just like you and has your heart. I cant believe the twins are going into 8th grade and Jenna 3rd. Jake and Karrington completed the Littleton Police Academy, OH HOW PROUD YOU WOULD BE, just amazing. Dalton is doing very well and growing like a little weed, 11 years now, soon he will be taller than Auntie. He is smart, funny, sensitive and HAPPY and Travis is a funny little boy that brings smiles everywhere he goes. Continue to be with us all, we do feel you everyday and talk about you with memories, smiles,tears, laughter and PRIDE!!!! Love You Dad Forever!

Please tell everyone "up there"...we love and miss them ALL. The kids and I were cooking/prepping last night for tonight and I was telling them great stories of all our wonderful family members. The kids just sat at the table and hung onto every word I would say...The kids are so amazing to me! Its wonderful to see YOU shine through their little eyes!!
Again Dad, I thank you for everything!
You are SO MISSED and NEEDED!!

Hi Dad,
Thinking and missing you more now that the Holidays are here! Just never gets easier (for us anyway). Be with us a bit stronger through the Holidays, especially your grandchildren. ALL of them will be together Saturday, I know you would be happy about that and enjoying them emmensly. You would be so proud of all of them, they all have made great strides in 2011. They are the world to us, our lives, as they were yours!!

Hi Dad, Not sure why, but just couldn't bring mself to get on here yesterday. Too hard I guess. I just can't believe its been 3 years! Some days it seems like yesterday while other days it feels like an eternity. Your four grandchildren are doing AMAZINGLY WELL...and I know if you were here with us, you would consider yourself to have FIVE grandchildren. Travis is learning all about GRAMPY and he has the best teachers...Dalton(who is a wonderful BIG brother), Jake , Karrington and Jenna. When I hear the stories and memories they share with Travis, it just makes smile because of the enormous impact who had on their little lives. 3 years has brought so many changes. Some negative and sad, but for the most part positive and happy. Continue to watch over all of us, guide us and protect us. We do feel you everyday.
Thank you Dad, for everything! You truly were an amazing man!
With much love for ETERNITY...Your Baby!
September 9, 2011
Hi Dad...Well, first week of school and it was a SUCCESS!!! Thanks for being with them all. Hardly seems possible the twins are now in Middle School, Jenna in first grade and Dalton third grade. They all came home with smiles and Dalton called so excited to tell us all about his day and teacher.
Thank you for being with them and watching over them Dad...I KNOW you are watching with a BIG SMILE.
Love and Miss you so very much!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!!!
I miss you like crazy, it hurts.
A beautiful day here today, we are catering to Billy, starting with Jake cooking his eggs for Dad's breakfast in bed. He is so deserving of an amazing day and all he does. He is WONDERFUL, as you know. The kids were funny this morning, they asked if we could take Dad to Canopy Lake, for Father's Day, of course Billy laughed and said "SURE". So off we go!
You, as usual, will be on our minds all day long.
Love Forever and Always,
Your Baby!
June 7, 2011
Hi Dad
Missing you like crazy, as usual.
Kids get out of school soon. Can't believe Jake and Karrington going into 6th gr.Jenna 1st gr. and Dalton 3rd gr.. Sports are coming to an end, Jake's team has made it to the playoffs, undefeated, Karrington's softball has a few more games, Jenna TBall 2 more Sat.mornings and Dalton's lacrosse has a few more games. They are all growing so fast and doing very well. Little things everyday that happen, I can feel your hand in, we know you are here.
Tell everyone up there HI...especially Nana and Grampy:)
I miss you Dad so much! You know I will check in later!
Love,
Your Baby Forever

March 24, 2011
Good Morning Dad,
I'm sorry its been awhile, but I know you hear me when I talk to you everyday. Things are good here. The kids are doing amazing in all areas of their little lives. Jake started Lacrosse, Jenna is in Daiseys and starting T-Ball soon and Karrington is enjoying her times in the barn and riding lessons (our future VET).
I miss you so much and wish so much you were here to enjoy your beloved grandchildren. Dalton is doing wonderful and is traveling to Vermont and Maine with wrestling as well as many other activities. You would be happy with his achievements and how far he has come in a short year. Some days are easier than others but the emptiness in my heart, of you not physically being here, will never be filled.
Really missing you today.
I will check back later.
I love you Dad so very much!
Your Baby FOREVER!

Hi Dad
Surgery over and successful! Thanks for being there. Recooperating going well and better than expected. Back to work Tuesday and of course, the business is doing surprisingly well. My team members are amazing and I am very fortunate.
I miss you Dad, I want to call you and see you, but I know you are there when I see the kids smile, laugh and talk about Grampy, I can feel you.
I love you,
Your Baby
January 18, 2011
Hi Dad, Surgery tomorrow, please be next to me and keep me safe...I am scared.
I love you and miss you so very much Dad!
Your baby forever and always
January 9, 2011
Thinking about you last night Dad and thought I would share what came to m mind...I love you...Be with me on 1/12 and ESPECIALLY during m surgery the 19th...God, I miss you so much, Your Baby
Your battle is now over, no more tears flowing down your cheek,
no more pain, no more suffering, now you are no longer weak.
I still do not understand why this had to happen to you,
but I am proud to say you are my dad, the greatest man I ever knew.
You were always there for me and never once made me cry,
until the day you closed your eyes and had to say goodbye.
Now you are my Angel, so spread your wings out wide,
please wrap them around me whenever you see me cry.
Our time together was memorable and God took you way too fast,
But the most precious thing to me was you being there for my first breath,
and me being there for your last.
January 1, 2011
HAPPY NEW YEAR DAD...2011, I can hardly believe it. I must be getting old, I went to bed at 10:30pm and Karrington and Jake "recorded" the ball dropping because Mom and Dad went to bed, they are so funny.
Be with me in 2011, as you always are, many positive changes are approaching and your extra hand helps to be there.
I wish so much you were here with us physically but we know you are here spiritually.
I love you Dad
Your Baby

MERRY CHRISTMAS DAD!
We miss you so much...I am about to cook your "special" breakfast for everyone...the dough for fried dough rose ,I think,a bit much...everyone was laughing and Jake said "Ma, that doesn't look like Grampy's" and then started laughing. Santa was very good to everyone and the kids are very excited. The only ones missing are you and Grammy, but we know and can feel you both here with us.
Keep an eye on me cooking today, breakfast AND dinner...I love you Dad ALWAYS...Your Baby
December 18, 2010
Morning Dad, Here we are 1 week from Christmas and oh how I miss you. It will be Grammy's 1st anniversary Monday and how she is missed too. Trying to make the Holidays special for your grandchildren, some moments are hard and others they seem to be okay. Shopping almost complete and it will be special in our new home. Sad news came about this week, which I am happy you are not here to hear, but breaks my heart and I wish I could fix it. The days seem to move in and out but some days I actually cry myself to sleep wishing I could call you and sit with you. It doesn't ever get easier, I think it just gets more tolerable as time goes by. Heading back to my Open House...you would be proud of this little family and the person I have become. I love you Dad so very much!

Hi Dad
I am having a bit of a down day today Dad. One of those days I just wish I could pick up the phone and hear you. I close my eyes off and on and talk to you but its just not the same. I am so thankful for having my rock next to me and sometimes wonder how I got so lucky to have such an amazing man love me as much as Billy does.
Just hold my shoulders a little tighter today. I'm closing my eyes and picturing you hugging me.
I love you Dad
Your Baby

Well, here we are 2 years later and life just keeps changing daily. I can't believe its been 2 years.

I wish everyday you were here to share it with us.

I love you so much Dad!

Hi Dad
Be with your little buddy strong these next few weeks. He had is first surgery yesterday and maybe two to go. His little heart is broken also, because of football. He is so well liked and respected by his team mates, teachers, coaches, friends, the phone hasn't stop ringing to check on him. He is very brave, like his Gramps!
Jake was actually crying for you yesterday after the surgery.
Just be with him Dad, PLEASE:)
I love you so much,
Your Baby

Dad,
Tomorrow at 9:05am we fly out of Logan on our Honeymoon to ARUBA! I am so nervous Dad, excited too but more nervous. I have NEVER been away from these babies nevermind out of the COUNTRY, watch over them and us. Terrified of flying, be with our plane for our journey. I wish so much you were here with all of us, and for other reasons, I am glad you are not. But, oh to hear that strong voice one more time, what I would give!
Okay, crying like a baby here at the computer...Just be on all our shoulders, a little stronger this week!!!
Love Forever,
Your Baby

Hi Dad,
Another birthday without you calling me at 6:45am to sing Happy Birthday. I know you are there though, I feel you everyday. It seems like forever since I talked to you and a lifetime of happenings I need to talk to you about. I listen to your saved messages on my phone whenever I get down and then just hearing your voice, I am okay! Billy and the kids are taking me out this morning and I am working tonight. It will be a good day, be right next to me Dad, okay!
Love Forever,
Your "OLD" Baby (I can hear you laughing now)

Hi Dad
Well here we go another new chapter in our lives...Tomorrow is our wedding and a beautiful day is planned. Thank you for sending PERFECT weather. I will be marrying my best friend and what makes tomorrow even more special is I am marrying the man you loved. It will be so hard to get through this without you here, but I know you will be right there next to Uncle Victor and I. Dad, I miss you so very much...but I know you watch and look over me (all of us) everyday. I asked Jake "so what do you think of all this planning and excitement?" Jake answered..."its like a dream come true", yes of course I cried! Walk next to me tomorrow and be with me, like you have been all my life!!!
I love you Dad and I thank God everyday I am like you and had the kind of parent you were ALWAYS to me!!!

Hi Dad, I wrote to you on Father's Day but for some reason it did not appear.
I still can't believe this is our second Father's Day not together. This one for some reason was harder than last year. I wish you were here so much. I did alot of gardening Sunday, then relaxed with the fire pit Billy built for us. I miss you calling me I miss your voice. jake and Karrington finished the year up with Honors and Jenna is now "offically" a kindergartener...you were right, these years go by too fast.
Be with me Dad everyday okay...I love you so much...Your Baby
June 2, 2010
Hey Dad...In our new home and loving it. Pretty amazing each morning to sit by the pool overlooking the lake, never thought I would be here. We are all adapting very nicely and the kids are absolutly loving it. Neighborhood is quiet and its so funny to tell the kids to be in when the street lights come on. We think of you often and your name comes up daily especially about the fishing spots you loved.
We all miss you so much Dad but we know you are with us.
Love Forever,
Your Baby
May 22, 2010

May 13, 2010
Good Morning Dad,
I miss you so much...Things are crazy here. Packing and cleaning, nevermind running everywhere with the kids and working. Jake is doing amazing in lacrosse, all the surrounding teams want him. We are getting excited as May 28th is approaching fast. Sitting out on our deck with our pool and the lake right in front of us is a dream come true. Life today is chaotic...but life is good. ALL of your grandchildren are doing great. We have your Dalton a couple of weekends a month and it is a relief to see him growing and happy and to be with his cousins. Jake and Dalton have already claimed their "dock" on the lake(right across from our house)for fishing, like their "Gramp".
I miss you so much Dad and wish you were here to see where life has brought me. I know that you knew this is where I would be eventually only after getting rid of the "drama" in my life. I just wish you were here to share it with us.
I love you so much Dad!!!
Keep watching over us, its working...
Love Forever, Your Baby

HAPPY EASTER DAD!!! How I miss you so much. I, of course, am doing Easter Dinner...as Phil puts it "the torch has been passed". I don't mind though. I am making receipes from both Nanas and some of yours too. Having 18 people...so I will be busy. Kids are happy and pleased with their baskets, excited about the big hunt we are having...reminds me of the hunts at Nana and Grampys when I was small.
And now the exitement of packing and papers signed for our BIG move into our very own home on the lake. I never thought I would have the things I do today in my life. You would be proud and SO HAPPY...Billy takes such good care of us, we have stress but no needless stress and it makes life that much easier. Life is good today Dad, our only sadness/void is missing you and Madelyne, but deep inside we always feel you both!
Love Forever and Always

Morning Dad,
How proud you would have been Saturday, Jake did AWESOME. Uncle Vic and Auntie Bernie were there to help cheer him on and they were so proud! He came off that field beaming himself. Yesterday, Jake told me he always says before any game..."okay Gramp help me play my best", he said he could feel you and Grammy with him.
Thanks Dad...God, we miss you

Hey Dad...Jakes big day is tomorrow.

I am so blessed to have them and don't know what I would do without them. They talk about about you everyday saying..."I wonder what Gramp would say", They miss you so much but I can see you in their little lives and the way they act is a reflection of having the best Grampy ever. Thank you Dad for everything you ever taught us. I hope your smiling down everyday with pride but especially today!!!
Love Forever, Your Baby

HAPPY NEW YEAR DAD...We put all the Christmas stuff back in boxes where they belong. Things are returning somewhat back to a routine. Getting Bryan and Alicia settled in and I am trying to keep everyone's schedules busy, even Papa's schedule. Without You and Madelyne, life just is not the same, but I will be okay as long as I live my life the way you taught me and I know you would be PROUD.
Be with us all everyday, which I know you are, make 2010 a HAPPY HEALTHY Year!!!

Hi Dad
I need a little bit of your strength today. We are saying "goodbye" physically to Madelyne, emotionally she will always be with us. Phil and I were saying, you both can share books in Heaven now while playing cards. She was the mother I never had, knowing my "whole" history, she loved me anyway despite it all. As you told me, she was "one classy lady". I have not cried...I have cried so many tears for you, it does nothing. Help me tonight okay? Be with Phil and Billy.
I miss you Dad...I love you!!!
Your Baby

Your Baby
December 11, 2009
Morning Dad,
Everyday I struggle to remain in the Christmas Spirit for your grandchildren. Its harder some days than others. I have such a hard time accepting you are not here. That fact is the harderst challenge I have ever encountered. I thank God I have Billy, Jake, Karrington and Jenna to keep my mind occupied, they all keep me so busy. I have been working alot of hours also...I can here you say everyday "keep it up, It will come in handy for Christmas!". Billy and Jake are making the "BIG TRIP" to Michigan in a week to get Alicia and Bryan...imagine Dad, I will have 5 kids in the house, your laughing now. It will be good, this little house is warm and friendly, no needless stress, just everyday living and we are happy. The only thing my heart wants and needs is you, but I know you are here...We all can feel you surround us daily.
I'll check in later.
I love you Dad so much!

Well here we are 2 days before Thanksgiving and, of course, my thoughts are wishing you were here. We were at the grocery store last night finalizing the list and I couldn't think of the ingredients for a receipe...I paniked because I wanted to call you, but I called Uncle Vic and he walked me through it, he as usual, was there for me:) I miss you Dad so so much...Be with me through the Holiday, I am having dinner here, guide me through the preparation, drop some hints to make dinner PERFECT!
I love you

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!
I LOVE YOU, YOUR BABY
November 12, 2009
Hi Dad
As the Holiday Season is approaching fast, it seems harder this year without you. Maybe because the numbness is wearing off or maybe because its been over a year now that I have not seen or heard you and the reality of this great loss is setting in. There are so many nights before going to bed that I want to pick the phone up and tell you how my day went, and sadly I just close my eyes and tell you that way. Some days are just harder than others, I guess.
I miss you Dad
Your Baby Always

Well, I know it will be hard for you to believe but I have no words right now... the family babbler is without his babble...
All I can do is ask you to be with your family today... they are going to need you....
Love you and miss you...
October 27, 2009
Dad,
I woke up this morning at 5:00 and watched the clock turn to 5:13. As I laid in bed, I could not help reliving a year ago and every minute that went with it. I thank you for having Uncle Victor here with me,through his strong arms around me, I could feel your strength, your love. And even though his pain of losing you was so intense, he was still able to help my pain. Dad, can you hear us can you see us??? Will you be with all of us today, help to make this day a bit easier. Sometimes I get so angry about losing you. Then I think of the great impact you had on ALL of our lives, how you always seem to make our lives better in way or another. I think how you just wanted us all to be BETTER! Every minute of everyday I think of you, I see you in your grandchildren's eyes and I feel you when they hug me for no reason, other than love.
Walk with all of us today, because we all need you just a little stronger.
I Love You Forever and Ever Dad...You are my HERO!!!!!!
You Baby

Good Morning Dad
Well, a year ago today, you and I began a journey that I will forever remember! Like I said so many times over this year and even to you personally in at the hospital during those very intense, long talks we had, you taught me well and I grasped your words with every breathe I had. This year has been a long one, but with a strong family unit around me, a wonderful man by my side and your 3 beautiful, wonderful, strong grandchildren. I made it, I did well and I have grown so much. My life, although chaotic at times, is in perspective, priorities are in place and I am happy. I have no needless drama, which was the topic of one of our lengthly conversations. I hear you in my head everyday saying "Hold your head high, Honey, you are a Merullo and you always will be and I am proud of the woman and mother you have become."
Thank you Dad, my head is held high
I love you, I will always treasure you!Your Baby For Eternity!

Dad
Hard to believe a year ago today you came home to us. Helping me make those mashed potatoes, you so desperatly wanted, and smiling as you were telling me how to make them. This next week I am dreading, but hopefully my adopted Mom is right, and I have your strength, and I will get through it.
I hope you are up there smiling down and proud of me and the life I live everyday. You taught me well and I am so grateful I am like YOU, I am grateful that I had a parent that taught me everything you did, and that I can so proudly hold my head up high because my life is right! The pain of you not here sometimes hurts so bad.
Be with me Dad, just a little stronger these next few days.
Crying too hard right now to type, but I will be back!
Love..your Baby

Good morning Carmine,
I had to come talk to you...
As much as it still hurts at times.
I had to stop coming here for a while. i'm sorry.
It hurt to much , talking to you with no repsonse:(
As this month marks a important ,Time for all of us.
It's been a year since you left us all
Well a part of you did.
This month will also show us all ,
that no matter the time
and distance...
Our hearts are all still in same place.
There is ,Not a day in the past year,
that have you not been in my thoughts each day.
Some days are easier to deal with then others.
When I needed you ,as im sure others did.
We just say our prayers and im sure you and god answered them.
We are all here with the same thoughts of you and Love :)
But what we don't realize, that a year ago.
We were all telling each other.
The pain will get better in time.
Our lives, have all moved on ,in one way or the other.
Look at My adopted daughter and her family!
I know your very proud of her and them.
She has grown alot in the past year.
More than even she realizes:)
So as we ALL, journey through this month.
Hoping that we could see you and speak to you once more time!
We all need to remember,
The reasons you were here, on earth with us all:)
Was instilled in each of us from YOU..
Your strength and courage,
That you faced each day of your life with.
Carries on to those you loved and held dearly.
You left alot of good things within US ALL.
So as we all face this very important marking in our lives,
Not a day goes by ,
we ALL don't remember your words.
Your strength and determination.
I WILL ALWAYS... hold you dear to me..
You were the one that made me, beleive in ME again..
9 years ago :)
You left me with alot of love and beleiving that all things
can be possible, if we beleive in them and our selves hard enough!
That taught me as much as you did about LIFE..and loving someone...
You are NOT and NEVER WILL BE FORGOTTEN ,in my heart and mind:)
The love you took with you will always remain:)
Also would you please tell mom hi for me and that I miss her also?
Give her a hug for me please.Thank you hun...
To Carmine's family...
Trust in your faith in god and the person that is your,
Father, Brother, grandfather, Etc.still and always will be...
That, they will still see you through each day, that you need them :)
Right now just look up and if tears flow..
Beleive me I KNOW..but it maybe,
Means we have grown and moved forward
.
But the love of Carmine, will always live on in each of us:)
Bless you all. my thoughts and prayers are with
each of you as difficult month moves on..
Hugs and kisses to all..
I love you all.. always!

Near or far away :)
The tears and feelings of loss ,are the same for us all...

Hi Dad
Warm apple cider, pumpkin pie, falling leaves, dark clouds, a chill in the air and the Topsfield Fair!!!
Fall is here Dad...First one without you. I remember last year, September 26 your big surgery you were so excited about...little did we know!
Lots happening here...Jenna will be 5 Sunday, Uncle Vic is sounding and doing GREAT, all 3 kids in sports Jenna scored 2 goals at her very first soccer game last Saturday, and she got to pick her big cousins number "7", she was very proud and so was Dalton! Thankfully you have had a hand in that situation and the cousins are remaining close. As I watch them play, not a care in the world, just happy, I can see you smiling that beautiful smile and I miss you even more!!! Life is good today Dad, you would be proud of this little family, the only thing missing is you!!! Myself and one of my co workers yesterday were remembering a year ago, she told me I have my very own guardian angel watching over me, I told her I knew that!
Be with us everyday and keep your strong hand on our shoulders, we need it!!!!!
Love forever and always, Your Baby

You would laugh at this, Jake and Karrington start 4th grade the 9th, I borrowed from Leslie Pom Poms for when the bus comes. This is the first Sept I am happy school is starting...it has been a LONG summer...Even with vacation and lots of day trips, a long summer! The twins do not want me bringing them the first day, they want to take the bus. And I can here you saying "Let Them!", so I am. They are growing up Dad be with them, watch over them when I am not around.
We are having 2 new members join us...imagine me with 5 kids in the house:)I can't wait!!! Scary, but exciting.
One more thing...I NEED you to be with Uncle Victor, he is going in for his surgery and he needs your strong hand like you used his so many times he brought you. BE WITH HIM like I know you will. Thanks Dad!!!

Well Dad, here we are August 26th. Today your baby is 40 and I can feel you up there laughing at me. Billy and I were remembering yesterday, last year on my Birthday. You sitting at the kitchen table teasing me about this year. Little thinking you would not be here to help me celebrate. I still have a very hard time believing your gone, so I try not to think of that and instead think of that great laugh and beautiful smile. You were a great man Dad, thank you for giving me life, and being the parent, that no matter what, was there for me. You gave me so much and taught me that material things mean nothing. I wish you were here to see how much I have grown in the past year, I finally "get it", not bad only took me 40 years!!!
The monkees and I are going down to Billys overnight tonight and out to dinner. I will forever carry you along in my heart.
Love always...Your Baby
