Perception Change
The recent death of my grandfather has changed my perception completely. He died of lung cancer and to this day I hate the smell of cigarettes. I had never had a death so close to me before. I regret not calling him as much as I could or telling him how much I loved him. At first these regrets haunted me everyday, now instead of dwelling on what I should have done, I change it to what I can do. So, every night before I close my eyes I tell him how much I love and miss him. It helps. This experience has taught me to cherish life and my body.

lung cancer is a crazy thing, on both sides of my family i have had many people pass, although i did not know them because they died so soon. it was when people did not know how bad smoking really was for you... i have not smoked a cigaret and never plan to... which is a good thing cause genetically i can see that it would just be a quick death.
