    Just wanted everyone to know

    I came home from my vacation today and had a wonderful week, but I need to head down to Florida on Monday because my mom is not doing well at all.

    I'm not ready to do this and I'm really afraid to see her because according to my dad it's not going to be easy. She took a turn for the worse very quickly and I know this will be the last time I see her. My sister is going with me and my dad can't wait until I get there. My mom is in the hospice inpatient, but can't stay there because all of her organs are strong and this could go on for a very long time. My dad has to move her into a home and just wait and I feel so bad for him. He said she's at the point that she probably won't even know she has been moved.

    I caught up on most of your posts today and I want you to know that I'm thinking of all of you and I may get to check in before I leave, but if now, keep me, my mom and my dad in your prayers.

    Karen, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. It's a blessing that you have had the week off to rest before facing the stressful Florida trip. Sending hugs, my friend. DDD
    DH & I have raised our 25 yr.old grandson. At 14 he turned to pot & booze to cope with problems. He's a GFG#1. In 2005 he fell off a balcony, had brain surgery and has TBI effects. His recovery is very stressful. Time will tell if he ends up GFG or PC. Our GFG#2 is 21 and now lives with his GFGmom. He's ADHD, AS, BP plus. DH and I have 6 children and 11 grands. Yikes!

    Your sorry eyes; they cut through bone
    They make it hard to leave you alone
    Leave you here wearing your wounds
    Waving your guns at somebody new

    There's too many people you used to know
    They see you coming they see you go
    They know your secrets and you know theirs
    This town is crazy; nobody cares

    Oh, Karen.

    Sending strength, and keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad you could go to be with your father, and that he does not have to do this alone.

    I too wish your mother peace.

    We will be waiting for you.

    Our son is 34, now. He did stop using. When that happens though, everything that has been lost (education, independence, family, memories that might have been made or might have been so much better) all of that comes front and center and needs to be dealt with.

    Faith is not, like a gambler's bet, something that turns out right or wrong. It is an act, an intention, a project....
