Last night I said to both my twins that tomorrow is the Great
American Smoke out and you should give up smoking for your birthday. They both told me Dad I don’t smoke and I
never will. I responded that’s great
please don’t ever start. I was a smoker
on and off for much of my teen years and into my 20’s and 30’s, I quit on my 39th
birthday which was 1,905 days ago, it was the best present I could have ever
given myself. In the 5 plus years since I
quit I have been lots more active and feel so much better. The weird thing about having twins is when I met
Marcia she said that she wanted four kids and twins, she got what she wanted, I
always said that I wanted to retire at 50 we will see if that will happen, I kinda
doubt if it ever will happen. When my
twins were born I was scared, excited and full of love, now that they are
turning 11 today I am scared, excited and full of love, it’s funny how the more
things change the more they stay the same.
You would also think that two kids that spent 9 months together in the
womb that they would be alike, that my friends is not the case, oh ye they are
not identical, ones a handsome boy and the other a beautiful girl. So to my twins, Happy Birthday and to those
of you who are giving up smoking for the Great American Smoke out, good luck
and congratulations on taking the first step to a healthier life.
