"A Life Apart: The Toll of Obesity"

Hector Garcia Jr. lights the candle on his cake for his 49th birthday Nov. 19, 2014 as his mother, Elena Garcia, begins to sing to him at their home in San Antonio. By his birthday, Hector was confined to his chair, only walking to the bathroom and his bed. In January 2013 Hector was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and as he gained weight, the disease progressed rapidly.
