annie's memory of Leo

I am so sorry about your brother, uncle Leo. I read ur post and out of the blue a memory of him from when I was very young just popped into my head. I was talking to him and I am pretty sure that it was at one of my parents cook-outs on safford st, but it may have been at uncle Jimmy's house. (That's the only part that is unclear).... He had on a white button down shirt and jeans. He was sitting on the picnic table bench talking to me and I was sitting on the table trying to lean in and block my mom from hearing us. I was telling him about my boyfriend (the one I was not allowed to have yet).I really cant believe that I can remember this like it was just last week, something that I havent thot about in years.- Meghan and I were being annoying and were fighting over the video camera that Al brought.  Auntie Denise was telling us her joke about the dead cat. (Oh it was 4th of July) u walked over to the lake with me to see the parachuters, but instead we found a dead frog. I really loved that time in my life. I really miss u all. It sucked that things changed after ur mom and my grandfather split up. I think that night during the fireworks that I was wearing a sweatshirt that u had made me. I think it had the divine comedy masks on it. Let me know if thats right. Oh well I do know that u made us each a ceramic pen/pencil holder that had our initials on it and I want u to know that I still have mine. Its cracked and chipped but I have it. How funny is that.
