  • Dear So,
    I have had loss in my life. The two most amazing people in my life- my mom and dad. But by no means am I gonna say that I know what you went through with your sister. Everyone’s situation is their own. But I can relate I guess. Nothing can prepare you for these situations. My mom passed, and it was awful. And then 18 years later when dad passed , even tho I went through it once, it was like going through it the first time again. I don’t have advice. Except maybe take life one day at a time. And take things at your own pace. There is no manual for this. The best I’d tell you is live your life the best you can in the way your sister would want you to. That seems like a good way to honor your sister to me. Things may or may not get better so to speak. But they will become different and more manageable. Stay strong. You need to. For you. And for your sister

    Hi Kayjah 🙂
    Thanks for the kind words. Yeah it was just an unfortunate time. She got mad at me for something she thought I did. But I didn’t. I’d never cheat or betray anyone. Especially her. It was nice that she enjoyed her birthday. It was bittersweet for me though. Knowing that I caused her sadness was heartbreaking for me. I’ll always love her. I’m not sure I’m in her core memories anymore lol. I’d like to think so 🙁
    Thanks again Kayjah

Good to see. I have an eye contact problem. Working on that. So maybe we both have things to work on huh? Btw, that girl doesn’t talk to me anymore. I’m honestly not even sure why. But that day was still a good day. Thanks for reaching out Gerald. Take care man

    Hi Jael. Nice to meet you. Thank you for the kind words too. Funny thing is on the basketball court and on the baseball field was where I was the most comfortable. And I wasn’t brutally shy, it was only around situation that I wasn’t familiar with. If I was around people in my comfort zone I wasn’t as shy. The unknown was what got to me. that’s great how you found the embarrassing and took it and made it funny. That’s a really great approach to have. If you can’t laugh at yourself what’s the point right? Lol. Again thank you for the kind words nice to meet you

    Hi Kayjah. Thanks so much for the kind words. Funny thing is, sports was the place I Felt the most comfortable actually. Especially on the baseball field. And it was the unknown that made me uncomfortable. Like people I didn’t know. That’s when I was the most shy. Performing? What kind of performing do you do? Thanks again for the kind words. By the way I sent you a friend request request. I think I did lol if I didn’t send mine to me please?

    A letter to younger Jim,

    Ahh yes…writing to myself as a youngster.  So many good times, but yet, the main thing I want to do is grab you and shake you and say “cmon man! get in the game!” lol. More on that in a bit. But moving on. I remember you being pretty shy in your high school days. Not always. But painfully shy in some instances. On the basketball court or on the baseball field, you were as much in your element as you could have been. Outside of that, not so much. You weren’t crazy about getting called in in class, and I wish you didn’t worry so much about giving speeches that you almost made yourself sick thinking about. And if a girl liked you, that was a GOOD thing. Not something to avoid, young Jim. I remember you purposely avoiding girls that liked you in junior high, or even friends of this person. Because you didn’t want to deal with them asking “did you talk to Michelle?”. I remember you hoping that the teacher wouldn’t call on you in some classes. But in others, you were vocal. Why not all the classes young Jim? Well, now young Jim, at my  job, I actively seek to give my opinion on things during meetings. I have the confidence to state my case on things, even to people higher up on the chain than you. And guess what? I’m usually right. And guess what again? YOU probably were right and informed back then, younger Jim.  I often say “if i could relive my high school days knowing then what I know now, it could have been more fun”. Thats true too. Don’t get me wrong- I enjoyed what we did in high school. We had fun. But young Jim, coulda been so much more fun  Not just talking with girls, but classes would have gone better, been more fun.  I guess we just weren’t quite ready to take on the world quite yet back than, huh?

    Things have improved through the years. Your confidence has picked up. You’ve taken a “what the hell” approach to things at times. The unknown has become less of a fear for you. Same w change. You have adapted to change more lately. You’ve tried new things. New experiences. You have come to the belief that you are as good as anyone. That you don’t need to defer to anyone. At times, you are realizing the silliness of being so shy back in the day. But also, because you are so much older and wiser now (wink,wink), you also realize that maybe if you were brimming with confidence, that maybe cautious and unassuming young Jim might have been replaced by cocky and confident Jim..and maybe some bad decisions may have been made, and maybe some trouble would have been gotten into. So all in all, no regrets. No point in wishing away things about days that have already transpired, right? I think we have come a long way and made a lot of improvements. We are still working on that eye contact thing. But hey- step by step right? I promise you young Jim, older Jim is gonna keep growing. We’ve done good

    Hi Kayjah. Wow. Thank you for the very kind words. I’m glad that my letter had a positive impact on you. That means a whole bunch. Yeah we had a simple household, but a very fun one. Dad worked hard at Chrysler. We never were without anything. They were tough. But very fair. Their wisdom will be with me through the years. Thanks again for reaching out. Made me very happy to read what you wrote. Make sure you wave tonight if you’re on lol 😊

    My motivation

    As far as a childhood dream, there was always baseball player or basketball player. Things like that. But at about the same time I realized those were far fetched, I realized that all I really wanted was to emulate my parents and make them as proud of me as possible. I realized that nothing would be more important. Seeing how they took care of me and my brother and sister made me know that this was all I wanted. And everything would fall in place after that. Modest? Maybe. But it was plenty enough for me
    I guess the challenges of realizing the dream came in the form of every day life. The struggles. The potential wrong paths to hopefully not go down. Situations that would arise that would test my resolve to do what my parents would do. Then as I grew older and didn’t have kids, I was never able to think like a parent and put myself exactly in their shoes. Being on my own at college was when I first had to think “what would mom and dad want me to do”? Because they weren’t there with me.It took some getting used to.
    My why is pretty simple : just to be the best Jim Corrao that I can. Like my parents, I live a pretty modest life. They had their fun w gambling trips, golf trips for dad, things like that. But they always put us first and never let anything distract them from taking care of us. I try to do the same with people around me- take care of them, support them. Just be a good person. Live a good life, be a good brother and friend , and make my parents proud. That’s what drives me
    I’m glad I have my why because it made me what I am today. Perfect? Not even close. Were my parents perfect? Nope. But as they got older and nearing their passing, I knew that the only thing to do was be with them and do whatever possible for them. I did that. And I will never have regrets in that regard. They are gone now, but their voices are as vocal as ever in my mind. Still helping me. To help them and still hear them is why I’m glad I never gave up on my why. Thanks for laying the blueprint mom and dad. Love you and miss you. But I still hear you 🙂

    • James I am glad that you didn’t give up on your why. Your parents helped you build this and your letter of how you kept pushing will help me as long as I keep pushing forward. The only thing that’s changed is that now, instead of being lost in the woods, I, like you, have in a way, a map to guide me. Your letter is an eye opener.

          • Only for the first touchdowns of the first game lol. And the browns have been so bad that there were games when they didn’t even score a touchdown lol. But we did one anyways to drown our misery haha. Yeah good luck w Baker. He’s a mixed bag. But he’s decent. Can be really good at times. Till next time my friend

    Hey Gerald. Thanks for reading it. Thanks for the kind words. I know you are a good dude too man. Humble. Respectful. Very easy to tell. Yeah man my mom and dad were great. I miss em every day. As football season gets closer, I think of the old days at the old house. Mom w a pot of sauce and meatballs on the stove for pasta later. Me and sampling a couple while we watch the Browns. Or season opener parties at my dads w my friends. Dad would make us do a shooter when the browns scored their first td. No matter the score lol. Miss those days. Thanks again Gerald. Much appreciated.

    • Thanks, Jim. Your household sounded like it was a lot of fun when football season came around. That pasta with the sauce & meatballs sounds so good! That house was smelling good! What’s a shooter? lol. It must have been fun doing that. Now you got me excited for the NFL and the NBA seasons! Thank you Jim for sharing your why and your reply.

    Thank you Shelley♥️
    Yes they were the best. Everyone should be lucky enough to think their parents were the best. As I’m sure Lauren does. And should. You and Mr Brill obviously did an amazing job yourselves. They had their fun. No doubt. But they took care of us and never left us needing anything. I hope they are proud. I think so. Thanks again Shelley 😊
