I am beside myself with happiness!!!!!! I talked to my Dad last night and he informed me 15 days ago he quit smoking!!! My Father has smoked my entire life, never expressed desire to quit. I always tried to not be a jerk and bug him about it. But it always always always bothered me. I understand he loved it, but it was like loving the poison killing you... I didn't like it at all. But he quit because his girlfriend had to so she wouldn't be sick. I truly can't express how happy I am. I want my Dad to be around for years and years. I never knew my grandpa on my Dad's side. He died of throat cancer before I was old enough to remember him. All I have is one picture of him holding me looking sick. I want my future children to have the memories of my Dad reading them stories and helping them build a tree house. This is a step toward that dream. It's more likely more possible. My Father reminds me this dream requires me to get married and have kids too LOL All in Good time. In the mean time I'm So thank for this blessing. I can't stop smiling! Everyone who is close to me has quit smoking all my immediate family. That is a treasure to me - I really can't say how much. But wow. Thanks so much God. Give them all strength to stay smoke free. I know it seems silly for me to care so much. But I really really really love them and want to see them happy and healthy.
