Yes YEN- This person I am talking about was a great loss to me/us. She co-signed for us to come to the USA, Intellectually smart and great to talk to, considerate of others, law abiding and a good citizen.

That all did not prevent her from self-destructive behaviour. Don't you think we all tried to get her to change? In her final weeks she finally admitted that she would do things different. Of course way too late.

This is so sad and there is so much of it. We had visitors late night. Have not seen them for a year. Same story. Sedentary lifestyle. Can hardly walk at my age.
My wife and I did our Tandem for 50 miles today at speeds up to 25 MPH and celebrated life at its best. And now we go for a big and healthy dinner with a bottle of wine.
