Celebrating five years since my 'April fool's day' surgery On April 1, five years ago, I underwent an eight-hour surgery that had a major impact on my life. Ironically I called this event April Fools' Day! And a few days later, at Easter I wrote a post on Facebook (see PS).

The signature and the memory
I'm very happy about this! I am moved to be able to celebrate the first five years of what I consider my new life.
Be strong and aware
The smear under my signature on the paintings is the sign of that painful passage. And it reminds me to be strong and aware and improve myself and the lives of others.
Check yourself too
I am also writing this to strongly encourage you to schedule check-ups immediately after Easter. Even if you feel good. I discovered my tumor by chance. Unfortunately, the pancreas and other organs do not give symptoms until an advanced stage.
In the meantime, I wish you a wonderful Easter of rebirth!
Francesco PS This is the post I wrote on Facebook five years ago: Days of Resurrection
Three weeks after the surgery that overwhelmed me physically and emotionally, I consider today the beginning of a new life. I want to thank from the bottom of my heart the many people who have sent healing messages, prayers and encouragement. Thoughts from old friends but also from people whom I don't know who follow me and pay me esteem from afar.
Your spirit comforted me in moments of fear and pain but also in current recovery, while gathering energy to be 100% as soon as possible. I wish you a wonderful Easter, the beginning of a true resurrection, where your deep desires find new life, light, security!
