@gerryp yours is a story of Triumph. Like many of us on Connect, you took the path “given” to you with courage and determination.

An Italian-American from Boston reminds me of the TV commercial from long ago for Prince Spaghetti. The woman hanging out the window yelling “ANTHONY”!
I couldn’t resist…

Many blessing for you and your beautiful family.

Thank you SusanEllen. Yes a story of triumph. My doctors were blunt with us on my odds of survival. So I had to dig deep to pull myself out of the hole. I never really believed that I would recover to the extent I have. But lots of people helped me get here - so I want to help others get here too.

Fun fact for you - That woman hanging out the window in Prince spaghetti day commercial was my great aunt Mary who lived her whole life in the North End of Boston. I grew up in the suburbs - just a regular kid- but with lots of good food!
