Pictures added to Richs web site

Posted : 8/3/2008 4:58:51 PM

I added the pictures Rich insisted I take. They are on the bottom of the first page. They are gross, and I thought about not posting them but he wanted them seen.

Please read Richs plea and DFS. It could happen to you or someone you love! http://richsplea.synthasite.com/

Thank you Julie for staying so brave. I hope every single member who smokes takes a look at this website you have put together. There is no reason ever to smoke.......

Rich must be so proud of you Julie. You've stayed so strong and carried on his important message. I know it must be painful to relive so much of this, but I truly think what you're doing with the website will inspire others to never smoke or to find a way to quit. Thank you for that!

I know this sounds a bit nuts but I think I'm entitled to be a bit nuts, when I started this site I told myself if I could get 1000 people to read it then I have done my job and I can concentrate on the happy memories, I don't have that far to go Please read it and share it. I wonder if 1000 people read it how many will actually listen? maybe 1/10? that would be 100 people, that would be amazing! The count is now 981

Although you're totally entitled to be a bit nuts, I don't think you are at all. I'm wondering if there aren't places, such as smoking cessation websites that might be willing to post a link to Rich's story. It would be incredible motivation for people to quit and stay quit. I just know there are places on the web that this could be shared in an even broader way.

Thats where it stated was on quitnet. I have recieved so much support from the members of that site you wouldn't believe. I'm going to take a break from it for awhile though. Right now it seems like the good memories are getting overshadowed. It means a lot that people are being helped but I gotta think of me too. Please continue to share it with whomever will read it but I promised myself a least a months break once it reached 1000.

Juliekay, you are one strong lady! Thank you for investing your time and emotional energy to create that website and help others understand the horrors that you and Rich went through because of smoking. I hope over the last few days you've blown past your 1000 goal. You MORE than deserve a break! You deserve a vacation from pain and stress, etc. All our best wishes for you. ((HUGS!))
