Lost another brother…

[Bill “Papa” Lee]

My half brother passed away last night, I did not know him well, as his life (sort of like my step brother) was life filled with hardcore drinking, and hardcore drugs. Yet, it is still a loss, and he was still my brother. 
 

I pray God has saved his eternal soul, as I would hope he will save my own.

Yeah, its getting scary to think about your once young brother getting older and will die. It just seems unreal.

My brother, who was an addict and alcoholic, died a couple of years ago. While it wasn't easy I trust that he is in the Lord's hands now.

I too have a brother that is an alcoholic and dying of liver failure. He recently fell off the wagon for the zillionth time. He's 8 years younger and it feels like such a hopeless situation. Sorry about both your brothers. 💔

This brother, told all of us (his family) that he was 21 days sober. So he either had a relapse, and used again, or the sudden “cold turkey”, could have killed him. It can be very dangerous to go “cold turkey”, without a doctor’s guidance. He was only 49 years of age, his issues had already cost him any relationship with his three daughters.
