thank you so much for your kindess and thoughts for Fred. I just wanted to say he is in the hospital now, he cannot eat or drink, so he is getting fluids via IV and he has an infection in his lungs. He is not doing good at all I am afraid. Please keep him in your thoughts, when I see him tomorrow I am going to tell him about all of you thinking of him. -xo sue [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 146 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,460 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $255.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 18

Thank you for sharing this with us Sue... I am sorry too. Sometimes where there are no words to describe a feeling -- somehow it travels anyway, farther and deeper into places and hearts that need it most. Fred will never just be a statistic because of you. He is someone special, with a family and friends who care... May we all gain strength in our quits for our own families and future... Kelly, I love that picture of you and your child:) As parents, our quit is a huge gift to our kids. Keep up the good fight.

Thanks for posting your sorrowful and difficult news. It truely is tragic and I am so sorry for you and yours. Some say that something good will come from everything. This is no exception. Lady - Thank you for bumping "Tom's" story as well. Both put a greater perspective on what it is we are doing here.

Sue, I'm glad you posted this. Early in my quit someone posted a story about a friend of theirs that tore my heart apart. I printed it out and carried it around with me for that first entire year. It saved my quit over and over again because I couldn't imagine saying the words he had said. If I can find it I will bump it up. It is very moving just as your story is. I will keep you and your friends family in my prayers. Remember, God is always capable of miracles.
