An Open Letter to My Grampy Who I Lost Too Soon...
Myself

Dear Grampy,

It's been 3 long years since I lost one of my favorite people. 3 years of holidays having to celebrate without you but wishing It was just all a dream and that I would get one more Easter and Christmas mornings breakfast with you. I wish I could have one more phone call with you just to talk about anything. I wish I could have had one more day with you. I miss you more and more everyday Grampy and I know that you have been looking down on me everyday for the past 3 years and given me strength when I truly needed it. I know you have been front row cheering me on at every performance I have done over the past 3 years. It's still so hard to believe that you aren't here anymore. I wish you could be here to see how much I've accomplished in the past 3 years...... I had a great relationship with a great guy (You truly would have loved him as much as I did.. He loved the big game of Hockey as much as you did, Gramps. and he was a gentlemen. I wish you could have met him), I graduated high school in the top half of my class, I started to college to pursue my dream career of becoming a Special Education teacher and I wish you could see all that my not so little brother has accomplished like he did it, he got into prep school and it has changed his life for the better, he plays his 3 favorite sports there, He is already thinking about where he wants to go off to college which is crazy, and he has truly become a great young man and you would be so beyond proud of him. You would be proud of your other three Granddaughter as well..The oldest has gotten to travel to Europe and she got her license. And the younger two have grown up in wonderful young girls as well.

And you would be so beyond proud of the two young men that you brought into this world. They are both so strong and loving. You truly have two amazing sons here.

Thank you for looking down on me and guiding me through life, Grampy. I hope I can continue to make you smile and proud for the rest of my life. I miss you everyday and seeing your smile, hearing your voice, seeing you in the audience and just everything. You will always be with me in my heart even if you can't be here physically. I love you Grampy.... forever and always. Keep watching us live and play the "Big Game". Rest In Peace.

Love,

Your Grand-daughter

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
