Hey Ray - make her a personalized christmas card - share your heart and your worries and plead with her to consider stopping smoking.
Every little bit of pleading works a little to help them get closer to quitting - ragging on them won't work... so try it and see if she will take the challenge soon.
I was a smoker - i know how hard it is to quit (i quit before diagnosis) but i also know when my kids begged me to stop it made me want to - for them. then i had to get the want to for myself and then i did it.
took a while (25 yrs of it) but i did it and am SO glad i did. i would never ever go back to those stinky things and now my hubby has quit just this past month so i am SO thankful! my kids are 3-24 and none of them have become smokers (thank you Lord) and they say seeing how badly i battled it they would never ever want to start (along with thinking it is stinky LOL)
anyways i am SO happy to read of the good report! Thank you Lord for giving us good news for Rays mom! We ask for many many more good reports to follow, - amen!
