I am very sad

Hey guys, long time no see. Well I got some really bad news yesterday and I wanted to share with u guys cuz I guess I'm looking for some sympathy or something.

A few years ago, I went to my husband's family reunion. It was on that day that I met Andy, a distant cousin of his that I don't think my hubby knew until he met him that day. Anyways, Andy was a really nice guy. He lived in Louisiana, we live in Texas so it was basically the only time we got to see Andy was once a year at the reunions. Ever since I've known Andy, he's been a pretty good size guy, but just as sweet as could be. So we'd visit from yr to yr, until a couple yrs ago, Andy wasn't at the reunion. His mom told me he'd gotten a really great job up north and had been so busy with his work he couldn't come. Then last year, when he didn't show up again, his mom told us he had checked into some kind of bariatric facility and was trying to lose weight. I was really happy for him.
Yesterday, I found out that Andy had been losing quite a bit of weight, but wasn't really getting enough exercise, staying in bed alot. He died from pneumonia in June. Poor Andy.

Thanks for letting me get this out.
