The first memory I am conscious of is my 3^rd Birthday party, or the night before my 3^rd birthday party really. My (legal) birthday (a day later than my actual birthday; for some further explanation read Birthdays) fell on a Tuesday in 1968, so this party was most likely the weekend before. I’m guessing Saturday, since Sunday would have been Mother’s Day… or maybe it was the weekend after my birthday. Who knows and it doesn’t really matter.

When I walked in to the gym looking not unlike it did over 38 years ago, life as it was came back in an instant… my parents…my friendships…innocence and ignorance…before college and work…before marriage and parenthood…before cancer and suicide…a much simpler time when I was still essentially in the care of others, including my little Roman Catholic parish in my hometown of Franklin Lakes.
