Produktbeschreibung
Guglielmo and his wife, Angela, were just two ordinary people who fell in love very young, married, and continued on with their lives, just as their parents had done before them. They raised four children and dealt with the ups and downs of life over many decades of marriage. And then they found themselves facing a battle with pancreatic cancer. I Take Thee, Angela presents poems that were the result of Guglielmo's outpouring of emotions that occurred over the two and a half years of suffering that Angela endured during her struggle with cancer. So deep and so strong was the love they shared that it was their sustenance during a period when nothing seemed to matter except overcoming the monster that had become such an all-consuming part of their lives. The lesson Guglielmo carried away from that experience is to not take for granted the happiness that we can enjoy during the time that God has given us all to share with one another. We should all cherish the fact that we are together and love and respect our relationship to the fullest. No one knows what tomorrow may bring. Born from one man's heart and formed from the love of someone very special, this collection of poetry recalls the love and lives of two people through the years.
Autorenporträt
Guglielmo was born in Port Chester, New York. At eighteen years of age, he joined the US Navy, serving four years during the Korean War. For four decades, Guglielmo served as a vice president of Greenwich Federal Savings and Loan Association prior to his retirement. He and his beloved wife Angela were the proud parents of four children. They were married for fifty years before her passing with pancreatic cancer. He currently resides in Hamden, Connecticut. I was born in Port Chester New York, the youngest of eight children. My mother and father, Arcangelo and Rose Vincoli, were both immigrants from Italy. Two of the hardest working people I have ever known. Graduated from Port Chester High School in 1950. Joined the Navy immediately following graduation, and served for four years. The highlight of my life was when I met my wife Angela at "Rye Beach". It was a casual encounter, and we never met again, until a friend asked me if I wanted to meet a "nice Italian girl". I said yes, and there she was, the beautiful girl from "Rye Beach". We courted and eventually married. I was overwhelmed by the fact that she said yes. But it was true and wonderful relationship ensued. In my wildest dreams, did I ever imagine becoming an author? Never, however, fate intervened and somehow, "I Take Thee Angelo" was born. From the depths of my heart and soul, came the story in the form of poetry. It became my goal in life to make it a legacy for Angela. The inspiration to publish was to perhaps give an incentive to other about how important it is to love and be loved. That is my hope and my purpose. There is nothing in my life that could ever replace what Angela and I blessed to share.
