I found a letter today while cleaning out my storage. It was addressed to my Grandfather, it told him he had asbestos damage and emphysema. He was told to quit smoking immediately. The letter was dated 1989. He didn't / couldn't quit smoking for another 10 years. A year later he died.

I wish this stuff was around when he first found out, and I know he would have gotten a kick out of Geoffs attitude.

I am so thankful I found not just equipment, but more so good juice. Without the juice from TV I would be smoking.

I crave it as soon as I wake up, and some may say I am still stuck, but at least I am not going downhill like my grandfather did.

That letter will stay within my reach forever. I won't make the same mistake. I know if my grandfather had the choice he would be here today. tobacco took that away from him, his 13 kids, and 28 grandkids.
