Family Is Everything

 Family has always been the most important thing in my life. In my family, we have always been extremely close and supportive of one another. I believe that in hard times, the only way to get through it is with family.

So the last few months have been difficult for the Grillone family. I'm not hear to explain my story or ask for sympathy. I'm writing this for the sole reason of the importance of family.

Last week, my dad started to develop a pain in his chest. A couple days later he went to see the doctor and the doctor has told him that he had to go to a stress test. After the stress test, he was told that he had a clogged artery and that he would need to go to the hospital for further tests.

On Monday, my mom and dad went to the hospital for his tests. After waiting hours upon hours, the test was finally completed and the doctors told my parents that his main artery was 90% clogged. He was told that he would need immediate heart surgery.

My dad is now being transferred to Trillium Hospital in Mississauga on Thursday in which he will undergo open heart surgery to remove the clog. As for us at home, we are trying to stay as strong as possible. I'm simply asking for prayers and support so my hero can come home safe and sound.

As they say "not all hero's wear capes". This guy right here is my hero. Even knowing all the things going on, he remains to keep a huge smile on his face. I would do anything in the world to take my dad out of that hospital bed and put me in that operating room. The family is trying to remain positive and keep the good vibes going. I cant wait to see you back at home again pappa. We love you and miss you so much.

In hard times like this, all you can do is be positive. Family is the most important thing in the world and shouldn't just be thought of when times are tough. We should aways keep our family close, no matter how hard the times get.

Thank you for listening, and tonight, gives your parents a big hug and just simply tell them you love them.
