Gone, But Never Forgotten.

Hello everyone,

It certainly has been a while since we have last spoken hasn't it? There is a reason for that I must say. Since my last blog, I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's. A passing of a loved one is never easy but sometimes it's even harder to get over because of all of the years they may have lost due to illness. Gemina Onorato was everything to me, she was diagnosed at 57  years old with this disease and she passed on at the age of 83. A strong woman she was to battle for 26 years as the doctor's could not believe how strong of a heart she had, that's what kept her going along with a strong will to live. To be honest I'm not ok with it all simply for the fact that too many years were taken away from her and I battle within myself to find some form of closure which I know will come eventually. Maybe I don't need closure, maybe I need to be thankful for the time she was healthy, when she loved and was loved by all more than she'll ever know. 
I want to thank all of Desolate Rage who were there for me more than anything, and Phil, Will, Dave, Eric and Joe for being there. I don't think all you guys truly know how I appreciate that and I will not forget.
It's awesome for me to talk on our blog about the music and everything that surrounds it, but sometimes we need to let people that follow Desolate Rage know what we've gone through or are going through. I know we all go through our own battles in life, so I thought I would let some of you know the battles Desolate Rage goes through at times. We will have scars but we keep battling through, I think that explains Desolate Rage in a nut shell.
Anyway, I won't ramble on any longer and I want to thank those of you who took the time to read a little chapter in my life.

In memory of my nonna:
You are missed,
but you will be with me wherever I go always,
you are safe now, 
No more pain

Marco.
