Hi Kristi - you've definitely had your share of experiences with smoking related deaths. I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your grandmother, uncle, husband's grandmother, and your grandfather. 63 years old is way too young to die. I lost both of my parents when they were 63 to smoking related illnesses. My father in 2002 from esophagael cancer and my mother in 2004 to COPD/emphysema.

My thoughts here are - is that what you want your children to experience? Losing their mother to cigarettes? Your 5 year old has already expressed her fear of losing you. Let that be the motivation to quit this time for good - no more excuses. You can do this! Just say:

AND

Just a loving butt kicking....
