Thanks everyone. He had heart surgery a few years back and literally got a new lease on life, but I guess it was only meant for a few more years.


A lot of my older friends (like my parents age, so 60-something) think I'm crazy for eating healthy and exercising (I go to the gym for strength training and cardio) and taking vitamins. I don't do it to live longer but to have a healthy life while I'm here. I don't want to be on 10 different prescription drugs by the time I'm their age and have health issues because I ate a bunch of southern food that clogs arteries and stuff and sat on my couch all day.


I wish I could say this will be a wake up call for others, but they're too set in their ways and think it won't happen to them. Speaking mainly about my in-laws. They're good people but so clueless.
