Wayne is my first cousin, my dad's nephew, one of 4 boys - the youngest cousin Gerry, my age passed away 3 years ago of liver damage/complications. Wayne will have esophagectomy, date for surgery I do not know yet, dad has told me today the update, operation will be 10-12 hours with 3 months rehab. my cousin I don't see hardly at all, last time at my mom's funeral, but, he is still my cousin, the boys and I grew up together. He is in his late 60's, married, step children, his only son died 9 years ago of drug overdose, Wayne has been through a lot over the years. he is dx: Barrett's disease. Dad is doing good and handling the news good. He doesn't see the other 2 sons, they never have called him and no loss their. Wayne's second wife is wonderful, loving, and by his side always. Ruth
keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers may angel wings wrap around you all and comfort you through this hard time :-* :-*
