Angelo Wants A Life |

More often than is good for him, Angelo is exposed to the bloody mess of violence, with gun shots ringing wildly through the back alley. It scares him sometimes. He wakes at night, and feels his heart just thumping away. He knows he must be brave. He knows the morning will come. He knows that he must, and will, face another day. It’s the only way possible for him to have a life. Angelo does want a life, and always will. Bobby |

He has a strong survivor instinct, 'blind' faith and hope. |

Thanks dear Midnitesun, You have discovered Angelo's secret weapon. What you say is true, it's what makes us human. Bobby |

Yo XGarapanX, Of course, Angelo thanks you for your concern, and good wishes. Most Angelos of our world survive very well, as strong, wise, and kind people. Thank heavens for them. Right now they are out on the playground celebrating the 4th with fireworks. It will sound like a war zone here in the hood until the fifth. Bobby |

And he did live his life with his purpose in mind! Amazing, actually, he was accompanied by God's Angels no doubt. Love this one, dear Bobby. Love, Margherita |

Thanks Art, A happy Fourth of July to you too. Angelo and the gang will turn the hood into a war zone tonight with their fireworks. People don't sleep here on the Fourth. Bobby |

Thanks dear Margherita, Yes Angelo has lived his life, all the way from the hood, to being a PhD math professor. He was protected somehow. Bobby |
