I came back

By Rosaldo Russo Allow me to begin this column by thanking the Oshawa/Central newspaper for allowing me the opportunity and access to the press. Not to many if any allow an average person like me to tell the world what I see and think. In my opinion. The Editor/Publisher is a real upstanding type of guy. He shoots from the hip and hold traditional core values. My name is Rosaldo Russo. I came to this great country to make a better life for myself and my family. I thank Canada for everything it has allowed me to do and earn. I worked construction all my life. I know the value of hard work and honesty. I remember as a boy my father always telling me to work hard and buy land. So I did. I remember days when I did not have enough to eat. I go to work... but I did not wait for hand outs. I rounded up my pride my skill and my determination to succeed and went to work. In those days the only benefits we received was the fact we were employed. Before retiring I was the owner and operator of local material supply company that allowed me to retired without worry. Now that I have time to enjoy life. I look around me and have some concern for future generations. I see that the world is finished. I must tell you about something personal that has happened to me just a few weeks ago. I was rushed to the hospital. According to paramedics. I was dead. During my trip to the hospital. I experience the strangest thing. I could see me out of my body. I could see myself lie there as the ambulance workers kept working on me. I went through a series of images that were very calming. During my experience, something told me to take a breath... Forcefully, telling me to breath as i gain my breath. According to the doctor. I had developed sever pneumonia, cutting oxygen to my brain. This cause me to have a series of mini strokes. The doctor could not believe that I came back. Well I came back and let me tell you. Appreciate every moment and everyone in your life... As easy as that it can all be gone. During this election. Remember you may never be around for ever. This is why you have to do what is right and vote for the future of your children. I ENDORSE JOE INGINO FOR MAYOR OF OSHAWA IN 2022 VOTE INGINO
