My condolences to the Granata family.
Sal I'm so happy you and Miros found each other, It wasn't long enough but long enough to know love is unconditional. I'll always be here for Miros and I know you'll be her guardian angel from above.
RIP My friend

My Baloo, I miss you dearly. My heart aches and wishing you would be home each time I walk in to our partial home and been staying here as each night I reach out to you as I had been doing all along but more so the last three weeks of your life. I now understand many who have endured having their loved ones dying from Cancer who rather die at home makes you feel like you are killing them with the morphine. Hospice telling me it had to be done to comfort your pain. I am so sorry you suffered so much but you were a very strong man and a fighter to keep living. Your pain and suffering started 8 years ago and I was just an employee at the Union who checked on you every 3 months see how you were doing. When you called me a few years ago that you should have been dead with this awful cancer but that Kaiser wanted to keep testing new treatments to see if they could find a cure you were not sure and couldn't handle this pain any more. We talked for two hours and at the end I had convinced you to try it and give everyone else a chance that got this cancer a cure and a miracle through you allowing yourself to be the ginny pig as they say. Our talks became more frequent and when I found out you were volunteering at St. Francis Retreat what a blessing that was for you to work in the most heavenly place to be especially enduring so much with your Cancer. Thank you for taking baby steps to ask for a true friendship and asking to have dinner at Phils Fish that was a start of a beautiful relationship that many you said would not accept so we kept it our secret besides our close friends and family. You always said I am sorry I am sick and always telling you never be sorry I am sorry you are enduring so much and did not know how to help you more than just being present and holding you and comforting you the best I could. That Thursday morning October 17th you were so talkative and scolding me not to give more than I am being appreciated for, that you loved me so much and we did not have enough time together that you were sorry you were so sick, Thanked me for everything I did and my kids accepted you and lit your life up to have a family. You said I looked so beautiful as I got ready for work even though I hardly had any sleep and us trying to be not heard to not get in trouble, it didn't hit me until you passed that before a person passes that you would talk like nothing was wrong but can leave you feeling like prayers are being answered. When I was told the next day Friday October 18th when I called that your pulse had dropped needed to get home fast I cried and made phone calls for prayers and support and maybe something upset you again and that you had asked hospice to call your doctor for a blood transfusion. I was hoping that you were fighting even more and when I got there everyone said she is here. You had perked up like nothing was wrong, but yet I was told these were signs of you slipping away slowly and that the morphine had to be increased more and more for pain comfort. I hated it and that Monday Morning when I woke up and did not hear your breathing sounds and your heart beat was devastating to me and having to wake mom and dad up you had left us.
I want to send up to you this again: Thank you for taking those steps to ask for a friendship because you were my rock and my shoulder to cry on when days were not good and you would always comfort me as I drove to my other job and then at 1 am when I got off work talking about so much I took away your sleep and rest you needed so much because you cared that much I got home safely every night and at times surprising you when I would show up surprising you in my presence. I am going to miss this and miss you so much Thank you Thank You for everything. I will carry you to all the places I am to visit that you and I talked about doing together. God called you home heard your cries and pleas to stop your pain. It was way to soon for us but I know you are not suffering any more and you are pain free. Your presence as my guardian Angel I know you will be at my side and giving me hints. You said certain things would happen and guess what they are, I ask you as you are at the Throne of God to pray and guide me along the way, give me signs and guidance. I Love you and until we see each other again along with Bella who I know she was jumping in joy to see you. You did the one thing you fought me on, but you mended a family that needed mending I am just sorry I couldn't have accomplished this sooner. Thank you sending you many hugs and kisses my baloo.. I love you. This song I heard I send to you Jealous of the Angels by Donna Taggart
