Chaos.

I would like to begin this post by first apologizing to everyone for my virtual silence over the past couple weeks. The past few weeks can only be described in one word. 

Chaotic. 

A month ago, I never could have predicted what my life would be like at this point. I didn’t think I would be spending my labor day weekend at the deathbed of my grandfather who, over the past 18 years, has become one of the biggest role models and most positive influences on my life. Yet his death, like all experiences with death has taught me something. It has taught me even more to really appreciate the small things in life. To reach out to other people, smile at them, and offer an extra hand. Leon Galoob was an incredible man who, along with my grandmother, Chuck, taught me to love. They showed me what it truly meant to love another human being in both a romantic way, but also in an unconditional manner that knows no boundaries. I miss them both so much everyday and it pains me to think that they are not just a phone call away, but I know that they are always with me, and that I have the responsibility and great pleasure to carry on their great legacy. It also brings me great relief that the two of them are together, as they should be, and as I have always known them. 

I’m back in New York now and have finally started classes. This week has been very eventful and my next post will be coming very shortly!
