Last night at 11:45PM I was sitting in the living room talking to my daughter, Kiara. Joey was up in his bed, but he was still awake. Kiara was writing a letter to a friend when I kissed her "Good Night" and then I went to bed.
I was laying in bed for about 5 minutes when I heard a vehicle in my driveway start. Kiara started screaming for me. I ran into the den and we both ran to the window to see Joe Orlando's(Sr.) truck running in the driveway. We both looked at each other freaked out.
Kiara said " Mom, how is dad truck running right now"? I said I have no idea and then looked over at the bookcase and BOTH sets of keys were sitting there. His truck was in our driveway running, with exterior & interior lights on. It stayed running until about midnight! Then shut off.
I sat in the living room with Kiara and and we talked. I asked her " What do you think is happening right now"? She replied, " I think my dad is trying to tell us something". I asked," What was she doing at the time the truck started"?
Kiara said, " I was writing my friend a letter and I was telling him how every night when I say my prayers, I talk to my dad, and in my prayers I ask my dad a question. Hoping he can help me and as soon as I was done writing that the truck started".
Today is March 19th and it is St. Joseph's Day". On St. Joseph's Day every year Joe would tug his son's left ear for Good Luck. His entire family did this. It was a tradition in the Tortorice-Orlando family.
WE are freaked out at what happened last night and have no answers as to what or how that happened!!!!!
Just thought I would share this instead of calling the family and telling each one.
Happy St. Joseph's Day to ALL especially, Joe Orlando*
If Tears Could Build A Stairway
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know
But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay
