HAPPY BIRTHDAY Krystina Lucille Tessinari

Heh Krystina,


 Go girl it's your birthday......


 Happy Birthday Krystina. You are another year older, when you are younger you want to say, "YOUR ANOTHER YEAR OLDER", when you are older you want to say, "NO NOT ANOTHER YEAR". You are such a beautiful young girl. You look so much like your daddy it's scary. But no one can deny that my son is your daddy. But you have your moms complextion and color hair. I can't wait for you to grow up. I wish you were already there all the time. But you will be and one day Krystina we will meet and I go about my day thinking about it all the time. Well here is my present to you a poem. No I didn't wrie it but it fit for you.......

I've traveled paths you've yet to walk
Learned lessons old and new
And now this wisdom of my life
I'm blessed to share with you

Let kindness spread like sunshine
Embrace those who are sad
Respect their dignity, give them joy
And leave them feeling glad

Forgive those who might hurt you
And though you have your pride
Listen closely to their viewpoint
Try to see the other side


Walk softly when you're angry
Try not to take offense
 Invoke your sense of humor
Laughter's power is immense!

 Express what you are feeling
Your beliefs you should uphold
Don't shy away from what is right
 Be courageous and be bold

 Keep hope right in your pocket
It will guide you day by day
Take it out when it is needed
When it's near, you'll find a way

Remember friends and family
Of which you are a precious part
Love deeply and love truly
Give freely from your heart

The world is far from perfect
There's conflict and there's strife
But you still can make a difference
By how you live your life
And so I'm very blessed to know

The wonders you will do
Because you are my granddaughter
 And I believe in you.


Happy Birthday my sweet granddaughter and add another year that you get closer to being a grown up and we get to meet.

Love Grandma

Krystina L. Tessinari

Hello my dearest Granddaughter

I am kinda laughing right now.  I just saw a picture of Nikki and a baby she is holding and I am wondering if she to had another baby.  What I am smiling about is this, your mom and your Aunt Nikki have finally gained some damn weight.  They look good, and healthy.  I know when you are young, you always worry about your weight and they probably still do, but they look really good with weight on them to.  I just think its cute on them.  With the winters you all go through I can just imagine the weight does help to keep you insulated.  I loved the picture I saw.  Especially of Nikki holding what looks like another little boy.  I don't think she can catch a break and have a girl.

Well I am writing this letter to let you know that when I do get to see a part of your family it makes me think what a life you have.  The snow must be beautiful.  But it must be so COLD.  I have been watching the news and the weather is so cold this winter and non stopping.  You have got some thick blood my lovely child.  I know when you spent your first winters there your mom said you were sick a lot.  Glad you have adjusted because you look healthy in your pictures.  Yeah I get pictures every once in a while and I post them up so my friends can see my granddaughter.  I see that your mom is finally on a motorcycle.  And I see that Chad rides.  Well at least we have something in common.  I am planning a trip to Sturgis one day.  I know that is one of those big things everyone has to do once.  My Cousin went out there and loved it.  And I see that Chad and your mom and your grandma Marie go out there.  I will have to run into them one day, with your grandfather Lonnie.  Wouldn't that be something.  A family reunion at Sturgis.

I love you dear Krystina and I am going to end up out there one day going to all the parks you visit, and get a look at the things you see while you are growing up.  Its some great pictures that I have seen and the country looks great, and you will end up here one day to see what I see.  Nothing like South Dakota though, I can promise you that.  One day Krystina, one day.  I am keeping track the best I can of you and these letters will never disappear from the internet.  I have people all over the world reading this stupid blog about a messed up family and the drama.  Its one of those things.  But people know your name and know there is someone out here that loves you.  You are going to have a step sibling soon.  Another part of the family that keeps growing and growing.  Its going to be a huge family here waiting for you also.  I have made up with my brother Dominick that I will have to tell you some stories about.  I went to visit my sisters grave site this past week to with my mom.  You were named after her.  I left information and everything about the Aunt you were named after.  You will have to do your family tree one day.  When we get older it seems we want to go back to roots and find out about family.  I have a Aunt named Lillian in New York that I didn't know my own grandmother and grandfather had adopted her.  Found that in a 1940 census, its cool when you start looking up family, you find things you never knew.  But I wanted to write you something and I have.  I will love you always and can't wait to see you one day. 

Stay sweet and be good to your family.  They are good to you.  Love you always and forever.

Your loving grandmother
