Thank you, Suzy for sharing this. I do understand just how hard it is to loose a loved one in this way. My thoughts and prayes go out to you. I am sure your Mother found much comfort in knowing that you had quit and have stayed smoke free for almost 3 years.

Thank you all for your condolences,and you are absolutely right... I wanted to share that feeling of understanding, that moment of "got it" that revelation, that epiphany that was reveal to me during those hours. Now I carry her love like a banner proud and bold, and try to be careful no to branish it like a club, but sometimes, with those I care for who are still smoking...well thats another post I guess :) Oh Penit,I see you are still on the beach, awesome job Love :) Be strong and couragous, life is yours to live. suzy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/25/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1040 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 31,200 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $4,097.60 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 116 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 12 [B]Seconds:[/B] 18

What a beautiful inspiring post Suzy! Your Mother's death was not in vain, it has reminded a few hundred of us right here, why we chose to give up cigarettes, and to take back that wonderful gift of life we were given to start with! Thank you! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 330 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,250 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,481.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 43 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 55 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16

Thank you suzy. There, too, went my father but it still took me another 7 years to "get it". I "got it", eventually, and now there is no turning back! My condolences for your loss but my congratulations also for making the quit stick and heading confidently towards your three-year mark. Best Wishes Penitent d1351 :)
