2016 Was a year of surprises and MORE surprises........
It's been a year since my last update and sitting here today on December 30, 2016 I can safely say it's been on hell of a year!
Our year started as they have in the past. January was spent in Florida to relax after a 3 week long tour with IHearts Jingle Ball. The holidays were fun with our family but it was nice to get to Florida for some sun and relaxation. Joining a boat club was one of the best things we have decided to do as we now are starting to get out on the water to enjoy what Florida has to offer. We have met many friends in Cape Coral and are blessed to be able to share and enjoy our time with them.
Things became a bit dicey in March. March 29th to be exact. In a NYC hotel alone, I woke up to a strange feeling of disorientation. NOT ABLE TO SPEAK, I knew things were not normal and to my surprise after a visit to Mt. Sinai emergency room, I was told I may have had a stroke. After much testing and the trusted MRI, it was confirmed that I did in deed suffer a stroke with no long lasting effects. Test after test and MORE tests, confirmed that the cause of the stroke was a somewhat of a mystery becuause all results were negative. So the good was that I had nothing wrong with me and the bad was the cause. After worring myself sick I finally came to the realization that I had NO control over what just happened and it was time to live my life again as a normal and healthy person. By my side the whole time was Cindy who was a rock during the enitre ordeal. Without her I can honestly say, my life would be empty. AS I have stated earlier, Cindy IS MY WORLD.
On the upside of 2016 was the news that I was going to FINALLY become a grandfather. My son Matthew and his wife Shelby were due in November... More on that later.
The rest of my year turned out to be great for business and great for our social lives. We sold our 2 bedroom condo in Cape Coral and moved 1 level up in our building to a larger 3 bedroom. Spent a week in 1000 Islands NY with our dear friends the Copies, who rented an island and let me just say it was amazing, although I was in agony with a back issue. In late August we checked off a bucket list item by taking a Mediteranian Cruise from Athens to Barcelona. The only thing I can say about this cruise was WOW!
November 25, 2016 at 6:42 AM LUKE ANTHONY PAGANO entered this world and let me just mention it was one of the best days of my life. He is beautiful, healthy and I'm in love.......
