The First Stage of Grief
This is probably the first time I am upset about a celebrity death. How can this be true? I just met him two weeks ago. I’m in denial.
I didn’t even think twice about MJ. But today my heart hurts. :(

Salvatore saying goodbye to his wife, my grandma, in 1952. They were recently married. While he was on board his ship, my grandmother gave birth to their first child, my dad. My grandfather got a telegram that announced his wife had a baby, but it did not say if it was a boy or girl. He had to wait until he returned home from service to find out he had a son.
Salvatore leaving boot camp. He was 19.
Here are a few photos of my Pop-pop from on board the ship, 1954.
My grandfather was stationed on the heavy cruiser U.S.S. Macon CA 132 in 1954 during the Korean War. He has a lot of amazing photos from his navy days. In particular, he has a huge poster size photo of his ship. He has kept it rolled up for over 50 years and it became cracked and extremely damaged. As a gift to him, I tried to fix it up. I’m not a photoshop expert, but I think it came out pretty good. There are still traces of the folds and bends, but come on, it’s old.
