Nakup, baguneta, buwan lang ang pagitan ng edad natin, I was also a chain smoker though I’ve reduced my intake now, I can already feel the effects. My dad died in my care after a short bout with advanced emphysema 5 yrs ago. You can still make it. Will include you in our prayers.
Salamat. Yung tatay ko rin namatay sa lung cancer, 62 years old. Huwag lang yung dasal ng Jesuits, baka magalit si SumPit(biro lang). Benedictine ako (San Beda – Mendiola). TT, ano kaya itry ko ang medical Johnny Walker or medical marijuana. I am also trying Ellen’s lemon grass (tanglad). Pero tanggap ko na ito. Sige, salamat muli.
Baguneta, my prayers are with you.
You seem to be coping with it so bravely. Nakakahanga ka.
Salamat Ellen. Umiiyak din pag naiisip ang mga anak,kahit mga grown ups na sila. I have three kids a son(27) and two daughters (21&20 years old). Maagap lumandi he he he.
