Raise your glass

old photo of my grandparents on my moms side

i don't know why but i feel like celebrating ...not for anything special but for how i have managed to be surrounded by the most incredible group of fellow humans a man could ask for...i don't have to list you all but i think you know who i am talking about.......in the words of mick and keith....you can't always get what you want...but if you try sometimes ..you get what you need......i get what i need everytime i get to speak or see one of the people that make my life so wonderful also i get what i need everttime i could make someone smile....just a little.....you see i used to love to visit my uncles when i was little...they always made me smile and i guess i am honoring the family tradition......most are long gone but they always live in my heart.......i loved you guys.... uncle tony,uncle nick,uncle dom,uncle joe i learned so much from you guys... one was the healing gift of laughter and everytime i make someone laugh i wonder if reaches you even now...and to my family & friends still with us on this earth ... you always make me smile...... we are a special breed.....one that i am proud to be........

thomas "john" cheffo ...(john was my confirmation name) it going to be was john or santo i after my grandfathers....i hope i didn't hurt my granfather santo's feeling.....ahhhh he was so lovable...(even though he spoke hardly any english) he didn't mind....i am sure i saw his lips turn to the sky when he saw me coming......love ya pops

came out of the chemo fog a little tonight ..faster than i thought i would....the women who past-out ended up going home later that night..if i get an update i will pass it on.....when i went back on thurs for my nupergin shot i asked how my patient was..they laughed....said she was ok'''i am so glad......
to my pals in the keys....may the wind be at your back and the waves beneath your boat.....
