Wanna know something? if I ever get that message that I'm terminal, carton of marlborro reds, and several quarts of knob creek.
My husband's sister got lung cancer from smoking. For two years she was misdiagnosed and treated for acute bronchitis. When they discovered it was cancer, it was too late. As a last wish I sent her a plane ticket to come and visit us and spend some time with her brother. It was wintertime and we had 8 inches of snow the first night she was there. She was aware that I had a strict rule that there was absolutely no smoking permitted in my house. The first morning she poured herself a cup of coffee and I thought she was coming to join me for some girl talk. Instead I heard the upstairs balcony door open and went to check on her. Yep, sure enough, there she stood out in the snow with a cup of coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She died about six weeks later.
