Dear Me,

You know the reason you started smoking again. I know it wasn’t an easy time when Mom died last year. She smoked and ended up with terminal lung cancer. You saw what she went through. You were with her when she got diagnosed and started treatment. Yes it was too late but she gave you 6 1/2 months after being diagnosed. You started smoking and now it is time to quit. Again… You have a little boy who looks up to you and thinks you are his whole world. Health is another reason. For you and for him. So get the help you need. It is going to be hard but you can do it. You are a strong person. You will overcome this.

Sincerely,

Michelle
