Fuck I need to stop drinking
Anyways I'm not 100% on his fate
I just haven't heard from him in such a long time that I'm fairly confident his body finally gave out
He worked at a chemical plant for a long time
He and the other workers developed cancer and sued
They all got a chunk of the settlement plus insurance but his shit was going well over what they'd agreed to cover, so the navy became his way to not leave his family with more than a half mil in debt
Part of me hopes he posts here and is like yo false alarm I'm good and the cancer is gone
But then I remember the scars and missing organs and shit, and his unbreakable addiction to painkillers and I wonder which is more kind
I ain't gonna post his full name out of respect for his fam
