Yeah. I'm happy for my nephew and his g/f. The kid has got his head on straight which says a LOT in our family.
He'll be 21 in a couple of months but he already has more than most people twice his age. He bought a nice little home in the country a few months ago. He works full time at a trucking company and owns a small landscaping company. Last summer, he had 6 guys working for him. He's a real go getter.
When I spoke with my sister last night, she said she and dad were out at the VA hospital all day so dad was sleeping when she called. She said he got very upset when the doctor told him he weighed 167 lbs. Several years ago, dad got down below 200 lbs and was very ill. That's when we found out he had congestive heart failure. So ever since then, he's convinced that the doctor told him to never get under 200 lbs. He says he feels better when he's at 200 lbs. He remembers that doctor visit (the way he remembers it) to this day word for word. Every time he talks about it, he reveals the same exact conversation. Of course the conversation didn't go that way but he remembers it the same every time.
In reality, he's been below 200 lbs for about 4 years.
Love, Barb
