Planning Night!

So in the future I will tell more about how the entire idea got started but for today I want to talk a bit about the family and the planning night.

So since my friend decided she needed to commit to stop smoking we agreed on a night and that night was March 4, 2010.

I was pleased to find that her husband of 26+ years, a wonderful man was there to join us. Not only was he there to support her and involve himself in all the learning, brainstorming, motivating, understanding, etc but he decided to join in the battle of the cancer sticks!

Yes he decided that it would be advantageous and increase the likelihood of her success tremendously if he too quit smoking. What a way to demonstrate his love for her!

How wonderful.... 2 for the price of 1. I am thrilled.

He loves her so much and cares so much for her that he is willing to do this great thing for her and of course also for himself!!!!

It gets better! Not only was he there to join us but there was another person there.

They are blessed with two beautiful daughters. The younger daughter is about to turn 16 and was there also. In fact texts between she and I previously indicated that she was as devoted as a daughter could be to do whatever she can to help her mom quit moking.

Now I am certain this fantastic young woman had a zillion other things she would have rather been doing but there she sat...interested, engulfed in the information, for two plus solid hours of talk. She was pleasant, polite, and scared at times. She would smile or grin and say that is disgusting...but these facts were disturbing...reality is not so pleasant regarding this topic but there she sat taking it all in. She is smart she will lose this information not only for her own benefit but I can tell she will share it with others and save them as well....

What a family what a wonderful event and challenge for them all...how exciting and positive!
They can do this because they have one another!
