Aleksandr sportolli 46,244 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I think I have spoken about him a little but I have a Uncle who is a second generation immigrant from Cuba. Dudes he fits every single stereotype about Hispanics being hot blooded. He's loud, easily excitable and hyper passionate about any and everything he's into. When he gets mad he speaks Spanish at speeds that aren't possible to even comprehend by English speakers. He was diagnosed with Neuropathy ten or so years ago. It was brought on by his diabetes. This led him down the road of pain pills he was prescribed and he od'ed two days ago. They're giving him 48 hours now. Liver and kidneys are shutting down on him. I'd like to say I'm sad, and I am to a certain degree but he hasn't been the same since my aunt died. He was a bit of a wild child in his youth and she was the one who settled him down. Like I said he was super passionate about anything and everything he was into and he loved my aunt to death. She passed away fifteen years ago or so from a super rare disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and it wasn't long after that he was diagnosed with neuropathy. He was just never the same and honestly he's been ready to go I believe. He just existed in a constant state of pain. Emotionally and physically. But man back in the day when that dude was on he was on. He could light up the whole room. Nobody could match his energy level and he was hilarious. The kind of funny where he could say **** that nobody else in the entire world could without getting in trouble. Vogelgryff, AF89, Carter and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My older daughter’s other grandmother (her mom’s mom) was just put on home hospice for terminal cancer. Along with my mom, she basically raised my daughter the first several years while we were finishing up college. I’m not sure how long she has left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My mother lost her older brother this past Saturday. He went in for stomach polyps and something went wrong. He died in the ICU. He was a well-respected pastor and a did a lot to help his community and the State of North Carolina. He was drafted in Korea and has been a Man of God since he was 16 years old. He was the one person who had my utmost admiration and respect. Mr. Hoopah! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just for clarification for those who don't know who BB was, he was a dwarf of Jamaican descent on a gangsta rap group out of Houston, TX. His lyrics from their song, Mind of a Lunatic, was so violently graphic that it was literally discussed in the halls of Congress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
