MOE LEARNED HER LESSONS
When I was a young girl, my grandfather lived with us. He was my mother's father. What an interesting character he was.
He needed our help as he aged, and he did teach us how to care for someone you love.
He was funny, and he told us many interesting stories about his life when he came here from Italy.
His last name was Napolitano, but at Ellis Island, they changed it to Naples. He had seven children, and the two boys were given a good education. Carmon became an eye doctor who practiced in Washington, D.C. and Dominic an engineer for the City of New Britain. The five daughters were not given the same educational opportunities. That alone taught me how unfair life. could be
When Granpa Tony became ill, all of us pitched in to take care of him. We had to help him in every way, including taking him to the toilet. That taught me humility, compassion and kindness at an early age.
I still remember Grandpa Tony and what a big influence he had on my life.
To grandpa from his grandchildren whom he called, Jimameer, Rosamaria, Chancenell, and Mister Touch. ( Jim, Rosemary, Nancy and Bill) we love you.
