Angel, the worst I've seen of him...
I got a call from a friend Brian who watches over another friend Angel who happens to live in my community. Angel has been renting from an uncle for many years. He doesn't own a car, he relies on the shuttle bus from the community and Brian to get him to appointments when a bus is impractical.Brian called last night to say it's a few days he hasn't heard from Angel and asked if I could stop by to check on him. I did. Angel came to the door in boxers and slippers and hadn't shaved in a few weeks. He looked horrible.
The reason he wasn't answering the phone is the ringer was turned off and he doesn't know how to get it back on. The neighbor has his phone to figure out how to get the ringer to work!
I asked if he was okay and he is having difficulty breathing. As a life-long smoker he said he quit and his body is reacting by coughing up things...
At this point, Angel is withering away. I won't make any predictions, but I hope is health improves. I already lost one friend this year who had lung cancer.

Unless Angel takes better care of himself, he may be 'taken' by some other angels.
