My nephew is starting hospice and he's only 24yrs. old also his three siblings had there colon's taken out because of polups growing. One of the othere kids has his polups growing in his duadudum so he go's in weekly to get those burnt out. The thing is my sister/there mom died from it at age 31yrs.and one year prev. my and there grandma mom died at age 56yrs.

But on a lighter note my older sister and two of the nephews left, are working heard to keep up on the polups.

Also my Brother just dieded last year Dec.a day before his birth day. Then 2months Later my brother-in-law dies, which I'm also close to.
So how does a person keep centered and help the sick ones. I want to do the right thing.
