Thank you, John, for a wonderful serial. I am also so relieved to know the happy ending. But, it's actually a beginning, right? Now you start the life you were always meant to have. The free life. Go fishing, man. Eat those Jolly Ranchers. Consider writing more if you don't already. Live, laugh & love. It's not often that we get new lease.

John. Your description of your excitement upon the realization on your second chance at life....That is exactly how I felt that moment I realized that I really had quit smoking and was going to remain smoke free for the rest of my life. It is the most exciting feeling in the world to be finally free. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Let me know the name of your thriller...I'm an avid reader. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 255 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,108 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $892.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 22 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 8 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

I want to thank every one of you who read my story and an xtra thanks for the nice comments and posts that followed. I really enjoyed writing the story for you. Thankfully I was able to finish it in a fairly timley manor. Oddly enough...I am not sure.... how or exactly when.... I decided to write a 4 part saga......but I am glad you enjoyed it. As a Gallatin County Montana Sherriff once told me after a really large fireworks display..." All is well that ends well".
