Probably Going To A Funeral Soon

One of my best friends, has a younger brother in his mid-30's that has been struggling with life for a long time.  Has got 3 kids with his fiancee, but he has never gotten his ish together long enough to do what he needs to do to be a better father/provider. Long story short, he just got out after a short bid and they found him unresponsive after getting high on herion.  Saw him in the hospital Saturday and he's just hooked up on life support... no brain activity.  I gave him a pep talk once his woman left the room, telling him all he had to look forward to.  With no brain activity I'm probably wasted my time, but I did it anyway.  Each day they test his brain for signs of improvement and its not getting better. I've seen how this works before with my brother in law who had a heart attack. He died, but EMT brought him back when they got there. All they took to the hospital was a shell.  They pull you off the machines to see if you can breathe on your own.

I think either today or tomorrow they are going to pull him. His woman is 33, his kids 11,9,7 year old. And... he got her hooked on drugs too. She's a beautiful young woman, and you can just see the drug use in her face... how skinny she's gotten. Its really sad.

My buddy just lost his mom about 5 years ago to heart attack... found her dead.  If he loses his baby brother he's going to be done.  

Life sucks sometimes. Makes you pay attention to the bigger picture.
