Sorry to hear that.. I'm sending you some good karma.. That is also another reason to respect each other.. Here today gone tommorrow and all you have left is memories. Quote from critter! " life is what you make it"!
I love my parents to death. I've always been especially close to my mom. I smoke with my dad alot, which is really cool, and I talked my mom into it. My dad smokes for medical reasons and my mom was about to (breast cancer) but never did. We have our disagreements, but we talk them out like mature adults. I've learned that if you give them respect, they'll give it right back (most times).
