I work with the elderly; I’m in the Reminiscence dept in an assistant living home “Alzheimer’s” yes a disease that brings tears to my eyes… at times it’s like there’s an emptiness and just a shell of a human being depending how far gone and sometimes you cant help laughing, my excuse "I'm only human"... but the bottom line, this is serious sometimes I get chills at the thought that I could be like them… the thought scares the hell out of me. But you know they might forget a lot of things but when they sang
"God bless America" there was a glow on their faces and the words just flowed out with pride. They were so proud to sing the song... that I realized this is what America is all about "The People"
Those Famous words from JFK... ITS NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU
BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY! So lets give to the Alzheimer's Foundation and destroy this crippling disease once and for all!

Simple friendly and caring with one dream -I want to meet Adam Sandler... I have four beautiful daughters and a granddaughter I'm a dreamer and my dreams keep me going I have seen places that people dream of, never won the lottery always worked hard. I believe that nothing is impossible I traveled to Australia from Sicily when I was six years old, now I live in the USA I've had diversity through my life I’m not afraid to die but I’m afraid how I'm going to die I'm in two minds about after dying- one is of science and the other is God I believe people need to know that there is something after death and I believe religion is there just to keep us in control when I’m alone I speak to God and I never use Gods name in vain and I never blame God for my mistakes I have been to confession but not in a long time. I respect people-when I get angry I ask God to take away the anger cause it is a waste of energy I’m naïve sometimes I’m not the smartest but I’m smarter than some… people say I have a beautiful smile and a pretty face but I know there is always someone prettier… in my old age I have become vain But I still look younger than fifty-one I am an open book I smile all the time and I love people I wish I had a magic wand so I can take the pain away from all whom suffer … At this very moment I have this urge to go to LA and feed the homeless cause I never take anything for granted I give donations when I can and I thank God everyday for what I have and not what I don’t have… people who know me will say I’m crazy (but I’m crazy good) I work with elderly I take care of someone’s mother or grandmother I respect all races but have no respect for ignorance...
