There was one afternoon that I was exiting my Sunday service. I had been awfully distracted during the sermon because of so many issues at work and with family responsibilities. I was alone that night and while leaving the Church, a partially blind man happened to cross my path. He was exiting the Church as well and he asked if I could help him catch the cab he called. He walked tapping his can...

The Story Of Stars Just Like Grandpa Told It Every night when I go to bed I can see the stars through the window that is right near my bed.

He taught me many things. The most special lesson I learned from him was h...

If we kept it up, she’d hurl us into the hallway outside our apartment in Yorkville and not let us back in till she felt like it. How much time we spent there depended on her mood and the neighbors’ complaints. Mom made one horseplay exception: New York Giants...

In October of 1960, Mom was pulling for Kennedy and Dad was rooting for Nixon. I couldn’t have cared less one way or the other – my thoughts were on baseball. The Pittsburgh Pirates had just crushed my heart by beating the Yankees in the seventh game of the World Series (to this day, I still wonder if Mickey Mantle cried as hard as I did after such a devastating defeat), and I wasn’t sure...

A wedding and chickenpox aren't usually two things that go together, and thankfully they weren't this time either—not quite, but almost. We had gone up to a second cousin's wedding, as she had invited my youngest three-year-old sister to be a flower girl, and my sister to be a bell ringer as the bride was about to come in. I myself was to be a junior bridesmaid. Since my second cousin lived q...
