DP -

I wanted to type this earlier, but deleted it out of an uncertainty on what to expect with your mom's health. I won't spit it out exactly the same, but the sentiment is still there.

You mentioned earlier that you're losing your sounding board. While it's not the same, I've come to believe it's not true. I don't believe in a heaven or a hell, so I don't have another side of the rainbow - at least not for me or anyone I love. My grandfather, the man who raised me, was my sounding board. I still talk to him, because he's somewhere within my heart. All the wisdom he imparted is kept lovingly where I can always ask it. It's hard. So, so hard; there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it. But today, I have my grandpa with me at all times, at all moments, at my beck and call.

My thoughts are with you tonight, T and K. May everything go with as much ease as the situation can find.
