The accounts are awesome.<br /><br />Watching my Uncle (older and more like my Grandpa) pass away from Leukimia was intensly hard on me. He was a WWII vet who at the age of 12 gave me a shirt that said: "they can take my gun when they pry it from my cold dead hands" He was a man's man that I learned alot from and watching him whither away to 86lbs his death weight (he was 6'0") was intense and eye hoping.<br /><br />My Grandmother passed from Emphysema. She was more like my mother and passed when I was only 12. She is still missed and the reason I HATE cigarettes. Seriously, any other bad habit has some good subsidary benefit, even if it is just brief neurological release from reality, but cigarettes NOTHING but death. <br /><br />Hope this is what you were looking for.
