Joe J, "Thank you" is so totally inadequate, but I can't put into words what your post has done for me.  I feel you are understanding me as an ex-smoker, a quitter and a Mum losing her daughter.  I am so very proud of my daughter and I love the way you put it - adventurous spirit oh she certainly has that!  This is probably the first real emotional rollercoaster I have hit since my quit and its people like you who are there to catch me when I stumble a little bit.  Smoking will not help, not in the least bit.  but you know, when life throws a few curve balls at you, how wonderful to have friends, people you have never met and never will, who care, and pick you up ready to move on. 

Lucie so happy to be free, a bit emotional but OK.
