Thank you. My Mom passed away this past January. When she caught a chest cold, I knew she'd never make it though. The years of smoking made impossible for her to heal.
Oh, Hildy, I'm so sorry to hear that. My mother-in-law died of lung cancer but hers began as breast cancer. She had never smoked a day in her life, nor had her husband. I'd never say that smoking is healthy for anyone. But everyone has their "vices", and most vices aren't healthy ones.
