My father in law lost his battle with cancer today. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer back in July, 7 months after her retired. He immediately started chemo and radiation treatment to try and prolong his life for his kids and grandkids. Around October we had him move in to help him with day to day tasks. Day after day he fought but unfortunately got a little bit weaker as time passed.
We had all of the family come down this weekend because he asked where everyone was, by this time his kidney had started to fail. My wife slept with him nightly, beside him to comfort him, and to spend as much time as possible. This morning I was woken up by my wife stating that he had passed away.
Jeff introduced me to e-cigarettes after being a pack a day smoker for a handful of years. I tried many different kinds, vision spinners, provari, even tube mech mods.Nothing kept me away from the real thing in the end. Then I discovered Reoville. I purchased a grand around 2 years ago and I haven't had a single cigarette since new years 2012. After having such success with the grand, I talked my father in law into buying one. He bought a bright purple grand with a rm2, he LOVED it! Shortly after that I purchased my second one and I have been happy ever since. as funny as this sounds our reos created even a stronger bond. We would talk about juice, coils, and our general pleasure with our devices. It was great!
Last week he gave me his purple grand as a gift. I sent it off to rob for new contacts and to get milled. It will be something I cherish forever.
I wrote Rob a similar letter to this post explaining the situation to him, but I figured I would share this with the Reo community because I felt it needed sharing. I feel that Rob has potentially saved my life. I kept going to regular cigarettes using all of my previous products before I got my grand. Now I have zero desire to go back. He provided me a healthy outlet to something that would most likely take my life down the road. I feel that my father in law and Rob have given me a second lease on life, something that I am very grateful for. If I ever meet him, I'm going to give him a huge hug and then a handshake thanking him for everything he has done.
I also want to thank the community for keeping me involved, entertained and warmed to the core. Coming to this forum daily gives me faith in humanity and hope that one day I will be surrounded by people exactly like my Reonauts. It's something i look forward to doing every day. I don't post much but on my days off I usually visit every hour or so to see what new and exciting. Thanks everyone for being kind, insightful, and caring to your peers. It's a much needed breath of fresh air.

Such a sad time for you and your wife, but so many wonderful memories to treasure as well. So glad you were both able to have that time with him, and that he and Reos helped you to get off the cigs!
