Received a call last night from my nephew's wife. He has been suffering from throat cancer for several months. They knew he wouldn't live very much longer but now his condition is deteriorating rapidly. Will probably only live a week or so longer. He is on morphine and his organs are not functioning properly. We grew up together but grew apart after I served in the Army. When I returned from Vietnam it was very apparent we no longer had much in common. Over the years we only saw each other at special family functions. Still, even though we didn't remain close, it's a shock. He's only 53 years old.
