Guy Madison as Sailor Harold E. Smith
inSince You Went Away (1944) dir. John Cromwell

How long combing his hair did it take for those curls to fall just right on his forehead?!?

(BTW, Madison died from emphysema in 1996 which I’m sure smoking as a major contributing factor.)

“But the most beautiful things in life are not just things. They’re people, and places, and memories and pictures. They’re feelings and moments and smiles and laughter.”

Last week we hiked together with my mother to Brockagh in Wicklow. It was a battle for the both of us, my mom having steel in her leg, me with my emphysema lungs. It was tough and at times I was thinking I am gonna die. But I didn’t. I did it. And the view up there is just breathtaking. What makes it even prettier is the struggle before you get up there. Like in life. You struggle but when you get something you wanted, it is even prettier because of the struggle and fight.

Emphysema due to smoking tends to cause bulla formation in the upper lobes, whereas if it is due to an inherited a1-antitrypsin deficiency, it tends to occur in the lower lobes. 

Smoke rises.
