Man... you had me worried there (nothing close to what you went through) but I'm really glad to hear how it turned out. I was scared away from ever starting to smoke by a father who could do ANYTHING he put his mind to but struggled with quitting smoking. I remember a comic saying "Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world to do..... I've done it hundreds of times!"
Anyways, glad your wife is doing well, they've got this nasty habit of growing on you.
