I dont usually use Facebook as a pulpit, and Im definitely not trying to preach, but I feel very strongly that I want to write something that might somehow influence someone to quit smoking. I am a former smoker - I know that its incredibly hard to quit. I also know that it is not the only cause of cancer. But my mother was a smoker, who developed lung cancer. My father developed bone cancer. My aunt developed kidney cancer. Smokers, all of them. And, one horrible year ago, David. He had switched to a pipe several years back and was so proud of how much less he was smoking. But it wasnt enough. Along my road in the past several years, people all around his age - his childhood friends and relatives, have died of cancer. All smokers. Please, please, please hear this. He was so sick. He suffered so much. And now those who loved him, mourn his loss every day. Quit, somehow. Make it a priority. Dont wait. Urge those you love to quit. Help them - its really hard. I laid my head on Davids gravestone yesterday and wished with every fiber of my being for his return. The loss is immeasurable, and the pain he endured incomprehensible. Help each other, stick around for each other. Quit.
