Thanks for your compassion I'm am so sorry in return for your loss of your husband when you were all alone with children to raise, I don't have children to raise while I am greiving so I can only imagine how hard that must be. I know it's cheesy but My heart really does go out to you. Oh and thanks for the friend invite, by the way I love your screen name it is so tough and badass.

MAFIOSA, do you think you could possibly email your excellent post on being an Italian-American child? I want to print it up and give it to members of my family because I'm sure they will crack up just as I did.

My email address is: amesjd53@aol.com

Thank you

Mafiosa, LOVE your posts! I'm old and cranky too, but didn't have the nerve to say it!
