Awww Thankyou 🥰Good morning Brairwood. 😊My mum was amazing and I’m not just saying that. Her 8 children were her world her working 3 jobs at some point and then going on to work with abused children later in life I don’t no how she did it I no everone says it but she was such a strong funny lady who would do anything for anyone and make you smile even when you didn’t want too 😊even when she got ill that didn’t stop her 💪😊 I do miss her 💕 the only thing I think I would like was to her to meet my son . . Even if I was a little like her that would make me happy staying positive is a great way to move forward 💪😊🎶🕺🏻💃xxxxx

Your mum does sound pretty amazing! Eight bairns! And 3 Jobs!

My mum was amazing, too, tho' she only managed five 😜

She passed away from a smoking-related illness. At the time she started, huge numbers of people, young and old alike, smoked like chimneys. They hardly had any info about the dangers, compared to my generation.

They just thought it was cool, and made them look like the actors they watched every week in the cinema - they certainly didn't know that the tobacco producers were paying to promote cigarette smoking on their screens. It makes me really angry to think of it, but it cannot diminish my love and admiration for the wonderful mum she was.

Afternoon LifeIsACabaret. Five children still a handful 😂😂Yes your correct my mum was the same she loved Audrey Hepburn and she always had a smoke in her hand and like you said everyone smoked then And smoking was encouraged . . I’m glad it’s not like that now I’m lucky non of my older children smoke I’m sure your mum was amazing aswell at least we’ve got happy memories Of them both 💕😊 🎶🕺🏻💃xxxxx

[LifeIsACabaret 26 Months Winner in reply to Yvonneh1234]

Yes, Yvonneh - treasured memories of a wise, nurturing mother who taught me so much, even tho' she had many struggles of her own! Glad to hear your children are non-smokers. What a relief!

Hello everyone lovely to hear about your beautiful mothers. Mine was special too I decided to quit because I had smoked for 20 years. I got a very bad chest infection, my blood pressure was very high and also I promised my mum before she passed away that I would give up smoking. I am 6 weeks smoke free now. Taking each day as it comes and reminding myself that smoking didn’t help me or make things better , it relieved the stress that the last cigarette had caused and I was stuck in a trap. Now I am free. X

[Briarwood Administrator Ducky in reply to Hopesanddreamss]

Well done Hopesanddreamss, lots to be proud of🚭💪💐🤗xx

21st of December 1990, was the last time I smoked. I threw a nearly full packet of 20 cigarette s. In the bin on my way from my Mother's hospital bed, where she had just passed away at 62 years old of Smoking related disease. Brian

[Hopesanddreamss 11 Weeks Winner in reply to Bingo88]

I’m sorry your mum passed away so young. Well done for quitting all this time she would be so proud of you

[Bingo88 LONG TERM WINNER in reply to Hopesanddreamss]

Thanks for your reply. Luckily smoking never had a hold on me. I stopped smoking a few times and stupidly started again. Perhaps that done even more harm and its why I have severe copd now and Asthma. Hope your keeping strong in your quit journey. I found keeping a check on the money I was saving was a real incentive. I had packed up in the past to use the money to pay the monthly payments on buying a better car. Brian

[Hopesanddreamss 11 Weeks Winner in reply to Bingo88]

Thanks for your advise, yes I think the money is a good incentive and to remember the money I’m saving And what it can go towards. Wishing you all the best and hope you are going ok with your asthma and copd.

Thanks so much for your kindness. Brian

Morning Brian 😊 I hope your well ?. . 1990 gosh you packed in a long time ago. But well done to you for doing it 😊💪 there seems to be a lot of people on here who have packed in due to a parent or relative passing away from smoking related illnesses .i think it good how smoking is not publicised now an not encouraging people to smoke if only it was like that years ago 🤷‍♀️ have a great day Brian I’m hoping it will be abit warmer today 😊💃🕺🏻🎶xxxxx
