A not so merry xmas
We found out today that my Aunt will probably not make it to see the new year. At the age of 47, she needs a heart AND lung transplant. She has smoked like a chimney since I can remember and had apparently found out 3 years ago she has emphysema. She told no one. Not my Uncle, not her siblings and not my cousins.
I cried today at the imminent loss of a family member. I think I cried the most for my 25 year old cousin who will lose her mother. Who just got married a year ago, and is trying to have a child her mom will never meet. I cried for my 18 year old cousin, just out of high school, who will have to face the real world without his mom.
I am not one for prayers, and even if I was I know nothing short of a miracle would help save her life. I just ask this: all you girls who smoke, think about how that decision might one day affect your family. How you could leave your FH a widower or your children without a Mom. It's a new year soon, try your hardest to make the resolution to quit.
Merry xmas to you all.
