GREAT NEWS FOR OUR FAMILY

I am relieved to share that my niece Tina has come through surgery with partial amputation of her leg due to sarcoma, a type of cancer, and has been moved from recovery into her room. Her Mom is with her. Tina's sister Diana has our whole family connected on a group phone text and is keeping us updated on texts and phone calls she receives on Tina's condition.

I am very thankful that God has answered our prayers on bringing Tina through this very serious surgery. We are a New York State family and Tina lives in Miami so it's been hard not being able to be there with her. So we are also thankful for modern technology.

Prior to my first quitting on 8/25/2019, I was a heavy smoker for over 60 years. That time, I quit due to health concerns regarding clogged arteries to my brain. Tar deposits from cigarettes were making the situation worse. I had become a prime candidate for a stroke and required surgery to clean out my left carotid artery. I have relapsed 4X since that quit, the last one being on 05.15.2022. ( At one point in all of this madness, I had been quit for 1.5 years). Then on 9/7/2021 I began my recent eight month quit before my current relapse. I am in the process of planning a return to the non-smoking life. After more than 2 weeks of smoking, wheezing and coughing and being short of breath, I have set my new quit date of June 1, 2022 as the beginning of my forever quit. I am done with this madness!! God is good.
