My uncle in Florida who is also my Godfather has had some heart trouble lately. He is about 78 years old and the hospital sent him home because he is too weak to undergo heart bypass surgery. The doctors don't know how long he has. They asked my aunt if he should be resuscitated if anything happens, and after consulting with a priest she decided against it. So this it it. I don't know how long he has but I ask you guys to keep him and my aunt in your thoughts and prayers.

That must have been a very difficult decision for your aunt to make. I would hope that someone had the courage to do that for me if I were in this situation.

Prayers for you and your family, Tommy.

I'm so sorry to hear that Tommy. I will definitely keep him and your aunt as well as you in my thoughts. Are you going to go see him?

I don't really have the time off to go see him right now. With the wedding and honeymoon coming up it is difficult. If and when he does pass I will try and go down to FL. Thanks for keep us in your thoughts.
