Flicking around some of the sites this morning, feeling much better by the way, I read this from one of the links i've saved, almost had me in tears. One of my biggest fears whilst smoking was to get an illness that was so obviously smoking related. This says it all for me.
"these two words may be the saddest words in the entire english language (or in any language, for that matter) - "if only..."
and the saddest thing about them is, that by the time we say them, it's almost always already too late. and how are you going to explain to your son or your daughter that mommy or daddy just didn't have the strength to face the pain of change back when it could have made a difference?
how are you going to explain to your mother or father that, because you couldn't face the pain of change, they'll now have to face the pain of attending their own child's funeral?"
wow lozza- poweful stuff. they have an expression in New York similar to "if only" - its called "Coulda Woulda Shouda!"
