Good afternoon everyone. How are you? I have been thinking about my nephew and what he meant to me.
I have been thinking of what a great influence he was on my life and what he taught me. Thinking back on my own addiction, I come to realize that not only is addiction an individual thing, it is also different for each person. What one person can tolerate another person cannot. My nephew died of a rare lung disease that had no cure. He was 44 years old when he passed away. I cannot assume to understand his struggles with addition, even though I struggled with my own addiction and I am in recovery. and have been for years. The reason I say this is because his was a battle that I didn't fight for him or with him. No one can fight your battle with addiction for you.. Only you can fight that battle.
I wrote this in my journal and I shared it with the world in my book. Not because I was looking for fame. rather I was looking to bring hope to others to show that you can go on living regardless of the pain. That there is life and hope after the lose of someone import to you.
"“My eldest nephew, Wes passed away at 21:20 (9:20 P.M.), Central Time, on the 18th of September, 2024.
It was already the 19th of September and around 03:20 A.M. as I was in Holland on the European continent.
I experienced a restless night since I was close to my nephew, and I could not get over the feeling of dread that I felt on the previous night.
It was as if I knew something was wrong, and as it turned out, it was.
Things were very wrong.
I wrote my nephew a letter telling him that I loved him.
To: Wes
Dear Wes, I didn’t make it home in time to see you before you passed away.
I love you, and I have missed you for a long time now.
Now I know why you did not answer the phone when I tried to call you.
I Love you!! I always have!!! I will see you in heaven.
Today, I will remember my nephew, Wes, by dedicating this book in Loving memory of him.
Wes, thank you for being my friend.
I Love you always,
Your Uncle Chad”
My nephew was just 44 years old at the time that he passed away.
