Where are they now ? ? ? …….Entry for July 8, 2008

Our step brother Eddy and his son


Edzoo….is doing good these days.
….he lives in a nice little home in a cute little Woodbridge neighborhood. Eddy still works for the same Electric company. 12 years now. He works allot of hours He is loyal and dedicated.. He travels allot. Michele and him married for 15 years now, maybe more. I remember and will always remember his wedding, like it was yesterday. Eddy cried three rivers as he walked up the aisle. And it was just at that moment I realized how much I had judged him and pretty much despised him sometimes. I never agreed with moms ridiculously quick marriage to Ed Karst and the sudden move-in and invasion of these FOUR MORE people on an already crowded household.
(JOKE: How do you know when two alcoholics are on their second date??? (do you give up?) ANSEWER: There is a moving van in the driveway !)
When I saw Eddy crying happy tears on his wedding, I realized how wrong I was about him. He really was a gentle soul when you think about it. He took so much abuse….more than anybody…..out of all 13 of us. But he always brushed it right off.
He is an extremely talented electrician today. He will still give you or anybody the shirt off his back without blinking an eye.
Many many years ago…for whatever reason;
his mother opened the door one day and never came back.
never called
never even looked back
forever
He seemed to have brushed that off as well.
Eddie is a father now, and that is him and Dean (Dino !) and from the little of what I saw in my short visit:…Eddie will never EVER walk out the door and disappear on this kid.
