Sadness

So we buried my brother in law on Friday. He was a life long smoker. Although he died of kidney failure, it was a direct result of so many years of smoking. Derrick was 62 & left many loved ones. Most were grown but should that lessen the loss to any of them. And then some of you know my sister Linda was diagnosed with lung cancer & that it was under remission. Last Wednesday another mass was found & it doesn't look good. I'm so tired of this.

PLEASE, don't let this be you to your loved ones!

I began this quit journey on October 1, 2004. I'm not doing it for my wife or children nor in memory of the many family members or friends I have lost due to this addiction. I'm doing it for Mike.
