Our family has a story
Tatone Donato left for Canada in 1949, a year ahead of his family. He wanted to make sure this was where his wife, Nano Grazietta and him saw their family for their future. He wanted to get a start on laying a foundation for his family that was built on what seemed like a lot of hard work, sweat and surely, a few tears. It's said he would walk up to ten kilometers at times just to find odd jobs or do farm work for extra money. He of course, learned the English language slowly and adopted a new culture the best he could. A year later, Nano packed up what little they owned and embarked on a Trans-Atlantic sea journey - traveling with eight children. The DiCarlos landed as immigrants to a foreign land and grew their family here with three more Canadian-born children. They made it work through hardships and change from the very beginning. It was never normal in any sense of the idea. It is an authentic journey that is our family story. Theirs was a story built from their heart. A true love story never has an ending. |
