I live & work in NYC. I have come to the point in my life that I realized how much we need to cherish "Today" that's why it's called "The Present". Life is truly a gift. I miss all of my family that has passed on & hope one day to see them in paradise. My parents & sister live in Italy. Thank God I have a wife & child to say I still have "family" in NY. I am also thankful for what friends I have because they have always been there through good times & bad. As for my cousins in NY.... they have all proven the proverb to be correct "You can pick your friends, but not your family". As I said, thank God for friends. I enjoy this site because it makes us face reality & understand that we need to love & respect each other...what we fight over for today won't matter 100 years from now!
