It has been a sad week for me and my family as we prepare for the passing of my brother Leo. As some of you know, he has been suffering from cancer for a while now and it is now coming to an end. Hopefully, he will soon be away from his pain that this cancer has caused him. I would not want any form of sympathies from you guys but I am here to tell you something.

WF is a place where I have grown to love everyone around in a way that no other gay bastard in the world can experience. It’s a great place where I have learned a lot and made some fantastic homos to build a long lasting friendship with. However, right now, I want to tell all you guys out there that if you love to light up a tobacco stick, simply quit what you are doing as you have no idea what the fuck it can do to you and how it can ruin the happiness of your family.

I request all you smokers out there to put an end to your vice and please, for heaven’s sake, stop smoking. I have seen my brother go from being a great sportsman to the state in which he is today not being able to move a finger. He is only 29 and his time has already come. FUCK.

Leo is now at his final stages and all we can do is pray for him to reach where we want him to go. A month ago, after his last CT, we had our final conversation and he told me how cigarettes fucked his life inside out. Who said grown men don’t cry?

I will miss my bro and the things we did together. I will make sure what he started will be accomplished. As of now, I am preparing for his passing away. I request you to keep these last words of his in mind as I close this post. “be alive, don’t just live”.

Reactions: ly2 from WF


Wow, that's real sad. I've lost a family member before as well, not to smoking but to alcohol use. I know how it feels, and I hope people do listen to your advice because in the end it doesn't only hurt them, but also their loved ones.

Be strong, I'll pray for your family.
 
Sorry to hear that mate, you just can't tell smokers... they take the Bill Hicks attitude (and look where it got him).
 
Sorry to hear you're dealing with this shit Austin. We're going through the same thing right now with my BIL with an aggressive grade 4 brain tumor. It sucks for everyone involved.

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
 
I just lost my cousin to Stage 4 Lung Cancer, she was a lifelong smoker.

I smoked as a kid and now in my 40's I have asthma and other lung issues. I have done a lot of fucked up things in my life but if there is one thing I would change it would be to never have started smoking.

Seriously.
 
I buried my brother last year on my birthday so I can feel your pain. Stay strong <3
