I don’t like jello!!!

And you should hear the Italian curse words I’m calling you for exercising so much and making me feel guilty.

What did I ever do to you?!?!

:)

Just remember, if it wasn’t for us out of shape people no one would know you are in good shape!

I’ve gotta go drive to New Jersey. Suddenly I want a cannoli.

For some reason, your persona has seized a few of my brain cells?
I was searching for some old Army stuff and dug out my old footlocker. And then I saw it(?) a sacred relic that I had carried in RVN!!!
I never knew how special it was until a few years back, I happened to mention it to a friend, he knew about such things. A simple white handkerchief BLESSED BY THE POPE!
He said it was a BIG DEAL! (I’m Lutheran, not Catholic)

Just before leaving the US and visiting friends a neighbor girl came over and said that her grandma wanted to see me, I only knew them slightly.
Grandma only spoke Italian so the granddaughter translated.

They handed me a white envelope with some writing and a date with the handkerchief inside, they said it would help keep me safe.

I carried it most of the time, the paper envelope fell apart, while in the hospital it became mixed in with other handkerchiefs! They took all my personal stuff and put in a footlocker and shipped it out.

My friend is now sadly gone so I ask you.
Any help in determining the real one from the others?
Is it a big deal?
