Happy Birthday, Aldo I can't believe that you would be 39 today. Where did the time go? When Aldo had his accident, there was a butterfly scar or tattooed on his head from when he hit the mail post. Now when I see butterflies, I know he's with me. 10 years ago today, we buried Aldo on his birthday. I love and miss him so much. Happy Birthday, In HeavenI I really thought it would get a lot easier as the years go on. But it doesn't. The first few years you are in shock and denial. Then after that, you keep thinking it's a dream, and you will wake up and the nightmare will be gone. November and April is a very hard month for my family and I. Aldo, also went into the Air Force, but he ended up getting an honorable discharge. He belonged to Cronomer Valley Fire Department, who he just Loved them all, like family. He was always helping out at Our Lady of the Lake Church, especially helping Father Budwick. Aldo loved his second family, Marcella and the Griecos. As a mother, My children are my life and I would do anything for any of my children. I would even give them my life, so they can have their life. I am so tired of people saying it will get easier, or you have other children, that you have to think about. Each one of my children are an individual. And I love them all the same, no more or no less. Mothers or fathers that lost children, know exactly, how I feel. It seems, I cannot remember a lot anymore, but after talking to other parents, that lost children, are going through the same thing that I am going through. Your life is not the same at all. But you see. Aldo, was my eldest, and he was always here to help me, no matter what. I could always depend on him. He was always there for his brother and sisters and he was always watching over them. When you lose a child, your heart is torn and that part can never be repaired or mended. Aldo, was a unique person. He had the heart of gold and would do anything for anyone, no matter what. He would help people with their cars, most of the time, never charging anyone. People would just stop in and say, Aldo, can you do my brakes or whatever else needed to be done and he would put down what he was doing just to help them, no matter what needed to be done with their cars. He loved detailing cars and even painting for people who needed it. No matter what Aldo did, he put all his heart into it. He took pride in his work. Aldo, was to get married, and he always wanted children.He was to get married the year he had the accident. He would have made one great father because he just loved children. He always said, if he had a son, his name would be Aldo, the 3rd and if it was a girl, her name would've been Aldolina, Aldo always had a sense of humor, he always wanted to make people laugh. And He loved to play practical jokes on people. He loved to scare people, in a good way, not in a bad way. Aldo, and his sister Leanna, would always try to get each other back. They both wanted to see who was better than the other. Aldo was very close to Leanna. She was the baby of the family and he spoiled her always. Buying her all types of toys... Aldo was always watching out for his brother Josh. Even when Josh didn't know it, Aldo had his eye on him. And then with his other sister Jeanna, Aldo was always watching out for her. Checking to see who is she was dating. Yes, she got mad at him, but he was only doing it, for her own good. Remember Jeanna at Hammonasset Park? Aldo, always felt sorry for animals that were hurt or abandoned. He was always bringing me home an animal. I sure do miss all those days, when my children were younger. Before you knew it, they were all grown up. I wish I could bring back, when they were young again. My house was always filled with Love and laughter. Aldo, always worried about my Mother, who he called Grammy. Those two were so close and he was always doing anything for her, running her all over when I couldn't get off of work... I know Aldo would have loved his nephews Joshua Aldo and Caiden and his niece Olivia. I know he is watching over all of us. He is our Angel. I miss him so much. Aldo always and forever will be with me and anyone else who knew and Loved Aldo. God must have really needed a special Angel. They always say that the good die young. But I know Aldo, is in heaven with my Mom and my Dad too.
