Prayers for you, your father, and your family Aurora. It sounds like a WONDERFUL smoothie and I'm so proud of you for turning to a smoothie in place of "comfort foods". BRAVO!

Thanks, Jane. At least he won't be in pain for much longer. Not to sound preachy, but cigarettes are horrible and COPD is NOT as carefree or easily remedied a condition as the Advair advertisements make it sound.SerenaSent from Serena's iPad 2On Aug 10, 2011, at 8:24 PM, Jane <jane01@...> wrote:

Thank you, Paige. I wish your friend luck, because it's a hard battle and even if he/she does quit, there's no guarantee that it'll stick or that the risk of disease will pass. My father began smoking as a teenager and quit in his mid-twenties. Fast forward 50 years, and his lungs are destroyed despite the time gap.Sorry for getting too off topic here, guys - I really needed to vent my grief, and I felt enough like I'm among friends to do so.SerenaSent from Serena's iPad 2On Aug 11, 2011, at 1:30 PM, joswan1234@... wrote:

My son died this past November from Lung Cancer. I know what you are going thru.

Thank you, . All the preparation in the world makes no difference whatsoever when the moment comes. We almost lost him way back in December, but he dug in his heels and stayed for almost 9 more months because he didn't want to leave us. This morning, finally, he felt enough peace to finally let go.
