My nephew is only 42 years old. He is a middle child and never got into any trouble.
He is the last one that I would expect to get into any trouble. He never did. Now I guess he started drinking five years ago. Than he starred vaping and doing the hard drugs. Than he took up smoking. I guess doing all three is really bad for your lungs, liver and pancreatic,
His liver is gone.
His Dad died a couple of months ago and now he is going to die. His Mom moved to Texas so she will have to go back to Colorado. Her work is going to raise some money to help her out.
If you believe in prayers pray for him and his family. He has a teenage daughter and two younger children.
His wife just called and she is very upset. She does not work since he made good money on his job.

So many bad habits all together is shocking considering you say he was a good person

He has never got into any trouble. His older brother was always in trouble. When he was a kid he told me that he should do bad things to get attention to. Which he never did.
Of course we moved 8 years ago so I do not know what was going on in his life.

Sometimes people make choices they don't think are bad. But, they don't realize how quickly all that can change. Perhaps God will spare him, scare him a little. Or not. We won't know.

It sure is. His mother was divorced but she still had feeling for his Dad so she was upset over his loss. Now her son. She is really upset.

I definitely believe in prayers. There's no doubt I'll pray for him. But it sounds so strange and hard to believe that someone who's just drinking since five years should be so weak. Weak to point of... You know what I mean.
I'm saying that because I have seen many people who drink for years together and their still alive and kicking.

@jstory07 I think that could be one of the reasons why his health deteriorated in 5 years. And that feels so sorry to say. I hope there's some way he could recover.

He has a week more? Oh my god that's ground-shattering. So is his wife trying for some job? Like how will the family survive?
Life is so unpredictable.

Thank you this is very upsetting. I knew nothing about any of this until I got the phone call.

His mother is really upset. She is driving from Texas tomorrow to Colorado. There is a bad snow storm coming. I just hope she makes it.

Thank you I feel so sorry for his mother she moved to Texas two years ago and she did not know until we found out the same day. That is so wrong not to let her know sooner.
