I am so sorry about your brother, Cuz. 54 is still young these days. I think I remember when that happened, or you told us about him. I do know that cigarettes can cause plaque buildup in your arteries like cholesterol and stress. Lady T still smokes along with her e-cig, or was, until this recent stint in the hospital. Her sister had heart trouble recently and switched to an e-cig system. Ya know, my sister talked to our mom about e-cigs, but she declined. Only God can change people, not us. But, prayer is powerful! Don't ever give up praying, even when it seems like a hopeless situation. God shines when it's hopeless. He can put us on our backs so that we can only look up to Him. It ain't over until the fat lady sings......I have a lousy voice and I haven't sung a word yet!
