My wonderful sister-in-law is gone
I had to watch my wonderful sister-in-law die recently from drinking herself to death. She was a very intelligent woman who could finish the NYT crossword puzzle with ease, (which I never can without cheating) She was superb chef and wonderful mother to her two daughters and wife of my brother. Dying from booze is a horrible way to go, and I was by her side holding her hand while she was in hospital in San Francisco. She despised Trump and the GOP for their cruelty and stupidity.
I urge any reader who is a daily drinker, to stop when you can before your liver and kidneys give out. Living without booze is a much better way to live than suffer from the results of excessive drinking. Life is precious.
