Krystina L. Tessinari

Hi there Krystina,

I haven't written for a minute have I.  I am holding two jobs right now and even though I think about you and I do because of the many pictures I get of you and you are in my prayers everyday I just haven't had a chance to write you.  I make Titan a photo album with pictures I get of him and I added a picture or two of you so he will know what his older step sister looks like.  I have printed pictures of you for your great grandmother, which I actually had a good time with the other day.

Your dad hasn't told me he has received any more letters from you.  He isn't much of a writer, but hell when he puts his mind to it, it all flows from the heart.  I know you are probably thinking about him a little more often then others around you would like.  I wonder if there is someone in your life you can talk to about your thoughts honestly, because I know you are of his blood which my blood runs through him and you are going to seek us out one day.  I told your father recently that he better be prepared because if Kayti can hold a grudge this long what will happen when Krystina comes looking for you and cuts Krystina off.  I would hope that doesn't happen but as many years as she can do this for you never know.  He is well prepared, and so am I young Krystina. 

It's all a waiting game for this side of the family.  But you are well worth the wait.  Only when we make it in the grave will the waiting be over.  I have a big weekend next week because I am taking my friends kids out for school clothes shopping.  Sara Braggs is a friend of your dad's and her mom was a friend of mine.  Sara's mom passed many years ago and Sara well she is in prison and when I finally got into contact with her and such she asked me to watch out for her kids as much as I can.  I am out of respect for Rose, her mom, Sara used to come over to my house and was your dads playmate when they were young.  People make mistakes, now if you make the mistake knowing you meant malice that is on you, but she truly needs to pay for her mistake but I can at least take an interest for Sara's children and give them just a little more then they may have. 

Well I just wanted you to know that I love you and you are never far from my heart.  You are the most beautiful girl I know.  School is about to begin again and you from what I understand a super student.  Be good and look at those stars and know that they shine for you and the happy thoughts I try so hard to send your way.  Love you always.

Your grandmother,
MyLinh McDonald

BFF Never End

Do you think its ironic that friendships can go through trials and tribulations and survive.  What is funny is that Marie and I are meant to be friends no matter what.  Oh we are both stubborn and crazy.   Our lives are a never ending drama fest.  And damn when we fight we both are to bull headed to say, "okay lets agree to disagree" and move on from there.  But our friendship is important to the both of us.  This week we kinda just picked up the phone and talked and I went over there last night for 5 hours and we visited and caught up with our crazy lives.  Just picked it up from where we left off because that is what a friendship is meant to do if it is meant to be a friendship.

How can I stay mad at my crazy Puerto Rican for long.  I missed her and her life and I miss sharing my life with my girlfriend.  Who can live without a BFF for long.  I have for many many years after that crap with the Vegas move.  And it was many years lost, and yes I still am innocent of all the charges but even if Marie still believes it, it is her prerogative to do that.  Just like its Kayti's right to be mad for the rest of her life.  I don't like it but yeah I will have my chance with my granddaughter one day and Kayti may have a lot more explaining to do.  Because if Krystina choices to find her father and his family I wonder if Kayti is strong enough to walk away from her daughter as she is holding that grudge mighty tight.  I am kinda off the topic, I was talking about Marie and I wasn't I.  Well things are back to being good and I am extremely happy and as I hope she is happy with me.  My blog probably got her a little peeved to but hell I am just me.

So everyone that was cheering us on and those of you that tried to turn me against Marie, (Lia Kral), can pretty much know that Marie and I are meant to have our disagreements but we come out stronger in the end....

Dearest Krystina,

I LOVE YOU.  You just don't know how much I love you.  I can not wait till you can follow your own heart and your own mind.  You have your dads and my blood running through you and you are going to be a seeker of truth, I know it.  Be brave my dear granddaughter and keep your dreams because they are important dreams, you are important and never allow anyone to tell you different.  When anyone tries to rein you in, your blood will tell you there is so much more out there and you will look for the answers.  Some of the truth you will not like, and some of the lies will make more sense to you.  You have to make up your own mind, because that is what a mind is for, to think to dream, to accomplish.  You see I have dreams and I believe dreams carry to the person that you dream of.  That person may have the same dreams and not know what they mean but the thing is this, there is always that pull and you will be pulled.  Do you realize all the people out there that are watching over you, people you have no idea or would think would be rooting for you and the time you grow up, where you can be the truest of the true to yourself and won't have to answer to anyone.

You may have to rein yourself in because you are so trying to please people but you will learn that you have to please yourself first in order to make you happy and the hell with people.  Your getting closer  everyday, you are getting closer and I love you.  I CAN NOT WAIT.  I know this has been the longest wait of my lifetime.  But if Grandpa Lonnie's son can find him after the many years his mother hid him, I have great hope for you.  Because no child can not wonder about family.  I went through it, Grandpa Lonnie went through it and so many others you have no idea.  But they have ALL found where they come from and their family and I will wait right here for you.  ALWAYS.

So you may not know what this letter means when you read it.  But if you read this and sit with your eyes close, you will hear me whispering in the wind that you are loved and always have been.  No one can erase where they come from.  Cherish yourself above all else.  Because you are living the one life you have and I look forward to seeing how you do one day.

Love you always,
Grandma 

Titan Rey Tessinari

Titan,

Well little man you are going to be 1 yrs old in a couple of days.  I saw a video of you walking and you were such a ham.  You loved every minute of it I could tell.  You are getting big and you are to cute.  Fun loving and full of smiles.  I have some beautiful pictures of you lately.  Well they are all beautiful, but the ones I got the other day was totally gorgeous.

I am leaving tomorrow after work to be there for your birthday on Saturday.  Bringing Uncle Jason who hasn't even met you yet and my Bff and her three youngest kids.  Which include the twins....lol.  Wait till you meet them, and of course Preston.

So I will see you soon my darling grandchild and HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Love
Grandma

BEAUTIFUL Carol Ciebien and MyLinh McDonald and Cece and Isaiah Gooden and Payton Galloway ...my friend that made this magical day happen for my grandchild and my friends.

Dearest Krystina,

  I celebrated my birthday with my granddaughter and her mom and some friends.  We went to Wet and Wild and then Disney the next day.   It was the best weekend to celebrate my birthday.  Got Jessica and Payton Gallaway out from Oklahoma and then had Cece and Isaiah over for the weekend to be surrounded with love and gosh it was fun.  Since my granddaughter was here for a week we went to Daytona and the boardwalk.  Had lots of ice cream and played Uno and just had a ball.  

  I loved every minute of it and then there was times when I thought about Titan and you and wondered how soon I may get to do these things with you two also.  Well Titan is to young and you are just out of reach.  I always dreamed of doing these things as a grandmother and Payton was wonderful.  At six she is a little worry wart.  But she tried everything, from Space Mountain to the Rolling Thunder roller coasters.  It was funny how she froze on each one and not one word came out of her mouth till the end when she proclaimed, "it went to fast grandma".  Being called grandma was the highlight of the whole thing.   

  I love you Krystina and will always love you.  No matter what.  I have dreams of us meeting and you won't be to big to take to Disney and Wet and Wild and Islands of Adventure and all the touristy spots around Orlando.  But to also get to know you as a person and my granddaughter.  I wanted to include some pictures and to say hello to you and to let you know you are beautiful.  The many pictures I get confirms that.  

  Take care lovely beautiful young lady and I love you as much as the moon and stars I have watching over you every single night.

Love you always,
Grandma

Happy Easter Krystina Lucille Tessinari

Hi Krystina,

  Its a day late only because I slept in today because I had to work Easter night, I hope you and yours had a great Easter.  From the pictures I got from my twitter feed you are looking awesome and your family had a great time with friends and Grandma Marie.  Its amazing to see how grown up you are, and how big your sister is getting.  The time does fly by doesn't it.  I had a dream yesterday and it was a strange dream, I think because my phone kept going off with Twitter messages from people that my mind was not fully at peace, wishing me a "Happy Easter" and such.  I was surprised that I did have a few pictures of you and the family on my twitter feed also.  But I dreamed you came to introduce yourself and we talked and talked and that night I passed away with a smile on my face.  And Jehovah asked me what do I regret the most and I said, "not having more time with my beloved grand daughter."  Maybe I am meant to stay alive only till the day we meet.  Well that is something, I am far from a dream interpreter, but it was interesting to me.  I woke up with tears running down my face.

  Well I wanted to drop a small note and say I hoped you had a great Easter.  You are so very very beautiful and everyone looked good in the pictures.  I find that you are still looking like your father and Zoe looks like her father.  I don't know if your sisters name is right, I think I got it from someone and trust that it is the right information and if it isn't you will have to forgive me.  I have seen pictures of your cousins also lately and my goodness those boys are growing like weeds.  And your Aunt Nikki I know is coming in May and I wish I could see her and the boys for lunch but I know that is a no no.  I am probably going to be in N. Carolina for Titans birthday around the time she is here.  But I hope they have fun.  Your Aunt looks so happy also and her fiance is a nice looking man and that little boy of his is super cute also.  But Aunt Nikki looks good as does your Grandma Marie.

  I am having a birthday party in May and I am having Payton and her mom come in from Oklahoma.  Remember Payton is my grand daughter from Grandpa Lonnie's side of the family.  I am trying to figure out what to do in the 24 hours they are both going to be here.  Want to have some fun with her and her mom.  I will take some pictures and put it up on the blog so you can see them one day.  Remember they are Payton and Jessica Gallaway.  I do have to write more and give you names and places and dates of people that know me and family that are almost everywhere in the world.  You are going to have a lot to do if you find me gone and want to know more about me.  But its like a treasure hunt, thats how I am going to think about it.  Because if I am gone from this earth it will be the biggest treasure hunt you will have in life to find out about me.  And there are well placed people that will be looking for you also.

  Anyway my lovely grand daughter you have a great day.  Be good and love with all your might as I do you.  I will write some more again soon.

Love you always and forever in this life always,

Your grandmother
