Sorry to hear of your loss, MLE. My aunt died of lung cancer so I know how nasty it can be. I can't understand why anyone would want to smoke, especially as it is proven what a killer it is.
And you never know what's round the corner, Nefret...... your friend may change their mind again one day. But in the meantime, try not to dwell on it and go out and enjoy your life.

Thanks. Did I mention this was the first time I'd seen this person in nearly a decade? That might factor in somehow.

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
