About Me | Just an average straight alpha italian guy gettin by : ( sounds like a yee haw country song ) I've been able to work for the state for 31 years and retired from it . I've got three healthy kids that are still living . Almost lost my son to an accident . He recovered about 90% and that's a miracle in itself ( always wear a helmet ) . I have gotten the Big C as todays culture calls it = CANCER . Stage 3 Throat Cancer , never smoked or dipped and lightly drank years back . But I've worked around hard industrial cleaning chemicals and I even mixed some together when I shouldn't have . After years of breathing that mess it caught up with/against me . Couldn't operate on the tumor . So I did the Chemo and radiation treatments and it got bad . My body wore down . Got dehydrated and couldn't eat . Had to have a feeding tube put in .The end was right at hand and I was at deaths doorstep . It was so bad I went down to the funeral home and made my final arrangements . Lost my color and was even turning blueish gray , I was a walking dead man . But I still prayed , still went to church , cried and prayed . I prayed and cried and others prayed and cried for me too = AND I GOT HELP FROM OUR GOD AND GOT A MIRACLE . I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED AND GET EXTRA DAYS WHICH IS TURNING INTO YEARS . I've never did anything outstanding and I'm not worthy . I can't explain why children get bad illnesses or have bad accidents and lose their battle for life . I'm more religious now . I won't quote scriptures to you but I will tell you there is a GOD . He loves and cares for all of us and that HE has earthly angels and earthly warriors here for you and I . I'll tell you that you will have something bad happen to you somewhere down the line because it happens to all of us . That is the spirit from down below trying to ruin you and get you to give up , to be filled with fear , anger and or contempt . But reach out to others and let those earthly angels / warriors help you physically , mentally and spiritually . Open your heart to the Lord and his love = DON'T GIVE UP ! There is always someone that is in a worse condition / situation as you . If you have read this trival stuff = I thank you . Please always remember that YOU ARE SPECIAL . You may not know it or feel it . But you have the power to light up the darkness that someone else encounters and make them feel special . ( That last quote is from ; Me , Anthony M. Palazzolo Sr . Fighting death gives you insight if you'll just pay...(read more) |
