Dear Friends, I have a difficult decision to make (however my Doctors have given me a choice) Tomorrow was supposed to be the day I close my FB page, but, my doctors & nurses have explained to me in much detail, that as long as I do not write anything more from this day forward, from my personal autobiography Broken Promises & Shattered Dreams, I will be allowed to keep my page on the facebook (as they realize I do some of my business on it with my travel agency). Whos fault is all this? (only my own, I am to blame). Why did I write these posts?? Well, I have been able to re-connect with so many classmates from CHS during my heyday of the early & mid-1980s, I just didnt wish to hide, what I have lived through, in exactly the past 27 years. On a professional note, I am going to try my hardest to get my book published next year in 2014. I hope to see it one day (at my local Barnes & Noble retail store on the shelves). This will be my greatest academic achievement (since graduating with the CHS Class of 1986). I am fully aware, some of the book is quite sad & melancholy, however, it is my Life. This is my story. On this day of Thursday November 21, 2013, it is amazing I am still here, alive & kicking (so to speak). I have never known any other human being, that has been thru all the things I have experienced. It has been, one hell-of-a roller coaster ride indeed. But whether some people like it or not, I am, still here. I count my blessings each day now. I read my Bible every night before I go to sleep. Thank you God. I think, a few of my prayers have already been answered, in the past couple of weeks. I simply am taking, one-day-at-a-time. I am faithful with my new medications for my illness with schizophrenia. There is just so much stigma with mental illness in this country of the United States. One day in my lifetime, I hope to put an end, to other peoples discriminatory acts of unkindness, uneducated behavior, and the ill manner, in which I am treated by others at times. I am not a bad person. I am not, an evil man. In closing, I wish to express my deepest gratitude, to all my closest of friends, whom have been nothing but helpful & supportive of their old friend Mark. I am trying to feel better, as each day passes by. Some days, are harder than others for me. However, I am not perfect (I never have been). I will be keeping my FB page, mainly due to the fact, that some of my friends live so so far away from New England (this is the only means, as to how I am able to stay in touch with these warm friends). So, I wish everyone a most Happy Thanksgiving. Count your blessings, and never complain, about the small problems that you may encounter along your road in life, along the travel journey, there will be so many many more miles to experience. After all, Life is like a travel journey, you just never know, where it may take you. God bless. Until, Mark
