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.

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.

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.

On top of the hard stuff, he was smoking and vaping. I guess a lot.
