Sparky,

You and Dewey have come a long way baby!

I'm proud of you for all you've done. You're one strong woman who's never quit when the quitting got tough.

All the best to Dewey, to you and your family in the coming year and beyond.

Pat

This is so inspiring for me to read. You have absolutely accepted everything that has come your way and yet you still believe in yourself enough to quit right now for good. Awesome in my book!!

Love ya,

Ron

Sparkster,

I'm so proud of you for quitting again when things have been so rough for you and your husband. You're really showing others that hard times aren't made better by smoking, but just the opposite. Sending all good thoughts your way. Thanks for the reminder to cherish each moment we have here on earth. ♥ u

So glad to see you sticking tough Sparky. I'm continuing to pray for a miracle, while enjoying the small blessings with you. Hope you have many more memories together that don't involve doctors and hospitals this year.

Wow...what an inspiring story! Thank you for sharing. We too easily forget the important things in life until something like this happens. I am happy that you are finding some independence although sad for the reason it is being presented. I actually know how to start the lawn mower but I still pretend like I don't know how! ;)

Good for you for making this quit about you and you are right you won't want to leave his side to go smoke and be constantly thinking about smoking. It sounds like you have learned a lot and grown a lot in this process and I wish both of you love, peace and joy with each other and life. You have reminded me today what I have to be grateful for and I really appreciate that! Have a beautiful day!

A year ago my husband and I were thinking he had a brain infection. Everything started late November last year when he had a seizure, I was thinking a stroke. As time went on and what ever was cloudy in his brain cleared, it was a brain tumor. We had it biopsied and the results was a brain cancer. He had surgery to remove what they could of the tumor. Four or five weeks later began the radiation and chemo. It seemed like every time we turned around there was a doctor appointment. He lost a lot of weight and strength, which left me doing the things he use to do. I am not complaining, very grateful to do it. The last MRI was no change

. So we are ending this year with lots of gratitude that the good Lord has given us this time together.

There were two or three failed quits during this time. This one is going well, knock on wood. There are many reason to quit and I think I written about most of them at one time or another. The focus I have with this quit is when his cancer returns, which they say it will, I want to be there for him and not wondering when and if I can get away to smoke. While doing this I am receiving all the benefits of the quit.

We welcomed a new granddaughter into our lives, I leaned that I can mow the yard, and even start it. I found out I can make a long drive and not scare hubby to death LOL. So all in all life is good.

This is no way a piety post. I know that some have wondered what happened because of other posts. You know life only comes our way once, use it well. Be grateful, hug someone, tell someone they are love, tell some they matter, and life each day with an open mind and heart.
