a story about a fine man named Scott

lets see maybe six plus years ago,stop smoking, fine father spouse, stand up for our country soeta guy, residing in Germany with the air force at the time, comes to a place in time where by smoking is more of a burden than a enjoyment.. He comes with the hope,stop smoking now, the readiness the prayer that he will find smobriety, he does for a bit but its never sticky.. But because he is a being of courage, of brain not just brawn he still after a fall picks himself up . and looks for another possible route along Freedom Trail.. By the time nana shows up, he is MIA but will soon return and over some time will wiggle and worm his way into my heart. He gets disheartened, he gets sad, mad, probably disgusted angry and just plain old exhausted BUT after a time he comes back "home" and over time he becomes more than a shared bb pal.He wantsit, just cannot figure out quite how to get it,, yes Not One Puff, but we ALL know its easier said than done.. but over and over, just like any warrior who has fought battles, he does not avoid the next one, because of his memory, connection, fear of losing associated with the past one. He knows that in order to win a war, he must fight battles, some will be harder than others, some will end wondering if anything has changed with all the sacrifice and some will momentarily bring enough sucess that it is seen as victory is possibelafter all these years and having the honor of meeting face to face with you Scott, to have you parade "who would have thought" I simply could not just post to your thread.you see I NEVER ever doubted that you could, and I rarely thought you wouldnt( ok a few times I got sorta scared I would lose you) BUT truly really how could you not,when we can see and smell almost touch and feel the deep need of what we want we are hardly ever ale to ignore it and so we strive, ick scream and bite if we must too accomplish our own victoryyou are one of the dearest, kindest men I have ever known, I mean that genuinely and I clebrate youI celebrate the joy I feel in your words, 13 and first time both her parents are not smoking..I pray that it signifies the beginning of years of her life, her childrens and yours that it will be siad.
