Mafia... just a small word for something so big that many could never understand, something that many were part of whether by choice, force or birth.
A mafia is a family and anyway you look at it every family has it's issues, it's up's and down's based upon both love and hate.
My family was the Mafia and our ups and down's were one for the books, books that could make you, laugh, cry, jump for joy, wallow in the pits, they could make you feel emotions you never even knew existed. It is one thing to watch it all unfold, but it was a different thing to be part of it while it unfolded, and if you give me a chance I could tell you all about it, or at least... I could try.
