1) My grandmother and my Aunt. Grandmother died many years ago from Alzheimer’s complications. My Aunt, the child in this picture is now years old. Her husband of over 60 years passed away 2 weeks ago. When they were taking him away, she said: “Don’t go far Jake, I am coming right behind you.” It’s true, she is very I’ll now 😭

2) My grandmother, same from above, with my grandfather. I never met him. He suffered from polio, and his life was cut short after complications resulting from an auto accident. He was a truck driver and worked on the railroad.

3) That is my dad in the background with side burns. Long before I was born.

4) My younger brothers and sisters. They are triplets.

5) My children and my twin nephews.

6) My wife.

Life moves so quick. Today, it feels like it’s almost over for me. Closer to the end than the beginning.
