Almost Two Years

Today is January 28, 2013 and it will be two years since I moved from New York City to Zacatecas, Mexico on March 6. 

I have definitely gone through some changes: new city, country, wife ( +Marti Freedman  !!!) a dog named Jake, and I had my left leg amputated just above the knee. Even though I'm leading a disgustingly health lifestyle ( diet consisting of chicken, fish fish and chicken) and get plenty of exercise, walking about 3 to 4 miles per day. 

The problem is my inherited genetic traits: Grandfather, aunt, Mother, Sister, Cousin with either Diabetes , Poor Circulation, due to hardening of arteries, or both. Then my Dad, who died in 1971, had a heart attack or stroke behind the wheel of his car, and crashed. Coroner wasn't sure what he had , exactly, and whether that or the cat crash was the ultimate cause of death.

Then, I spoke to my "BEST" cousin +Margaret Bena , the other day, and she tells me my godson, her son John Bena, who is younger than my oldest son, had a debilitating stroke, and to top things off, one of her daughters, Margaret, had some sort of CVA also. 

My purpose in this blog post is that my sons, +John Sobieski , +Mark Sobieski , +Matthew Sobieski , and +Peter Sobieski , might see this and correct any thing that might lead to the same end as all the rest. It would really suck, if I had to travel North for a funeral. Parents are supposed to precede their children into the Great Unknown, not the other way around.
