I know she is proud of you too. I am sorry for your great loss. Linda --- In CognitiveQuitSmoking@y..., "Becky aka Chennoa" <chennoa@c... know how I am doing. I work full time and also I enrolled in college so my time has been limited both in reading and in posting but I had a rather significant life event happen and really needed to post it. 10 years old when she came to live with us. My Mom hired her to take care of us when we were kids. She lived with us until I was 17 and I moved out to get married. She became a school teacher and was living was us while she did that. She became my "big sis" in more ways than one. Over the years she has lived 4 houses up and has not only been a friend but my kids and grandkids schoolteacher. She used to baby-sit for me and she was always the one I went to when things were rough. She knew what to say to get me to " come around" <!--more--> smoker. She was really proud of me for quitting. Actually she said she about had a heart attack cause NO ONE thought Becky would EVER quit. :))))) Well she had a heart attack but not cause I quit smoking. She was only 58. Very young indeed to be leaving this earth but she died quickly and therefore suffered no pain. She came to my house 6 weeks ago and rekindled in me an old desire to be a schoolteacher. I am 46 and thought perhaps it was a little too late for me to go back to school but she persisted and I finally went up and registered and am in my third week of classes. I never got back over to tell her but somehow I know that she knows. this all out and in all of this tragedy and hurt I never once thought of a cigarette. I was so proud of myself. I did my ABC's for when something like this was to happen and I went into automatic mode or something because everything I wrote down I did. I know she is proud of me and now she has taught me to be proud of myself. I am gonna miss her. Hi Becky. I know she is proud of you too. I am sorry for your great
loss.
