Cousin Sara

Cousin Sara (Grandpop's brother's daughter) could very well be your dad's twin. They are equally goofy and sarcastic and will get into a fight with anyone, anywhere to defend you. Sara grew up and lives in the Virgina Beach area. And although we did not grow up together, seeing each other as frequently as the Frangella cousins, Sara always went above and beyond to stay in touch (and still does). Dad always did the same for her, driving the 5 hours down to see her as often as he could. This is a prime example of when someone loves you and wants to be in your life, they will make every effort to do so. Sara is an amazing person. She has loved you since the second dad called to tell her mom was pregnant with you and will love and support you forever.

This was the wedding. 


Like a true Moresi, no serious photos...




...just serious love.

You and Sara June 2015

Some nuts aren't in your family tree, but they choose to stay in it's shade, and shade you when you need it most.

9/16/15 | Fun and games on a spontaneous Wednesday visit to you and your cousins. 


Selgrath

These are photos of your Selgrath side of the family tree. 

Growing up your father and I's family was lopsided, leaning heavily to the Moresi side, leaving our Narbutis/Mom side bare and a distant childhood memory. You are one of few lucky children whose tree is not only full, but active as a family unit. In the short time I have known the Selgraths, they have always treated me like family and are a lot of fun to be around. This is evident in family photos and inevitably in the memories you will soon have of them.    

When mom was in the hospital with you, I sorted through mom's Facebook page for funny photos that would make her smile. These are some of those photos. Over the years, new photos will be added (see links) and I hope by the time your read this, I would have accurately captioned all of the photos. However, you may have to ask about them, which I'm sure will lead to some fun stories.  








Dad

Like the rest of the Moresi's (and many Moresi's by marriage), Dad has a sarcastic sense of humor and rarely takes a serious photo. These are some of my favorite photos of him.
