Sue, I'm so sorry for Fred and his family. Sounds like he has been fighting hard for a long time. You have to have amazing spirit to go through chemo and radiation. I understand that was really hard for you to post, but thank you fo doing so. Condolences to all concerned.

Oh, Sue - I so feel for you and your friend. Know your friendship touches hearts and your quit inspires. You know from my stories I carry my demons from past experiences, but quitting is the ONLY tribute that matters. I am truly thinking of you during this hard time - you are such a good person and that is what matters most. Big hugs my friend!

Sue, my heart goes out to you. Been where you are at and it is not easy to watch, but use the time wisely and you will have no regrets. Tell your friend what you need to and be yourself. God puts special people into our lives to teach us, learn. May God be you and Fred and his family. Warm thoughts and hugs, Sparky [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]4/30/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 122 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,220 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $366.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 16 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 30 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

Sue, Thank you for sharing that, as hard as it was. I'm certain there are others reading that needed that extra nudge to see the reality of smoking. It's so easy to romanticize and shut off the logic of how truly dangerous it is. Thank God you have the time to tell Fred how much he means to you and thank God that he has such good friends to care for him. All the best [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/5/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1120 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 22,400 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $5,040.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 85 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 5 [B]Seconds:[/B] 7

Sue, your friends story is a gentle reminder of why we are doing the best for ourselves by quiting smoking. I will pray for some peace in Fred's remaining days. Will be thinking of you to and what a difficult time this must be for you.

Out thoughts are with you and Fred's family. The addiction can be cruel and perhaps his story may make someone realize it is their time to quit. Keep Strong, Josie, Support Specialist

This must be very hard for you, Sue. One thing though, you can be proud that you do not smoke, and that he may die knowing that you don't. Thinking of you during this time.
