Swedlow Central

Today is the day that we remember our lost loved ones and think about important things like life and death, love and suffering.

Definitely missing my dad, Gerry Swedlow, and also wish my grandparents were here today. There are so many things I’d like to hear them talk about and hear their opinions on all this mishigos we’re going through (e.g. the pandemic).

It’s interesting how we reach an age when we really value what we have lost. When we’re kids and especially teenagers we think it’s going to go on forever and our parents and grandparents will be there forever.

My dad had a lot of gravitas and was a serious guy who was wise, but he was also very funny and liked to joke around (see above). He had a love of life and always found time to joke around. He certainly faced more than his fair share of stress and sadness, but today (on this serious day) I’m choosing to remember him being silly.

I miss and love you Dad!!

Also missing my grandparents.
