Unbelievable he was still a smoker being the Father of nine and grandfather of 35...they should have encouraged him to stop that nasty habit...
My hubby and I were both smokers, before kids...after kids they said it was difficult to even think we were once smokers..Neither of my kids smoke..and I never had a drug problem with them, they both work in the medical world, they see plenty... We have been Blessed, especially when I heard my friends share tales they have gone through.
I'm sure the Scalia Family and Friends will have a very difficult week ahead as well as the coming Months as the fight begins to replace their Loved One...
Prayers for them and for Our Country...
Never a guarantee. My sister stopped smoking after they found four aneurysms in her head. They tied off the biggest of them, and kept an eye on the other three. Five years later she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She died 18 months later. Both my parents died of lung cancer too. Another sister died of a stroke in 2014. My only brother died of a massive heart attack at the age of 51. They were all smokers. I've never smoked, but that is not a guarantee that I'll never get cancer.
