On a Serious Note

I will be the first to admit Holidays can become long with traveling and eating than running to the next house. However, this year I am looking at it differently.

A close friend to Cody and I passed away today with Cancer. He found out this past March by going to the ER for a tooth that wouldn't stop bleeding. 12 hours later they were letting him know he had one of the worst kinds of cancer and he was far worst stage. 2 days after that he started chemo. He had cancer of the blood. He played off the and even acted like it was nothing. But after spending countless days in the hospital (more in the hospital than home) this year. Countless chemo treatments and the last biopsy revealed that the leukemia was back again. With 8 full body radiations treatments and 2 strong chemo rounds, the doctors said at Thanksgiving he needed to go home and live life has comfortable as possible and gave him a week to live.

He went home and lived life as much as he could. Laughed with family and friends, hosted parties, played poker at home with friends and just made people laugh. He even told his mom (who is 70 plus years old) "Mom don't be all upset you are old and you will probably follow right be hind me in a few weeks"
December 21st more than 3 weeks after the news he finally let God take him and let me be in a better place. He left a Wife, a son and a daughter.

RIP Mark Rozzi
