Gotta throw a

your way.

Thanks for your responses, guys. I appreciate that you took the time to read and respond.

Though I feel like I didn't make it clear enough that this is a very autobiographical piece and I'm having a hard time dealing with the subject material. It seems that generally wasn't clear.

I'm sorry if my response came across as making light of the unhappy situation. I sometimes forget that not everyone's as ready for levity as quickly after difficult times as I tend to be.

No, it's not your unhappy situation so you're under no obligation to not make light. I don't recall if you made light of your father's suffering last year. But kudos if you did.

I am just definitely not ready to make light of my mother. I have typed and retyped this sentence about six times because there's no easy way to say that your mother's struggle is nearing completion.

No easy way, true, but there is a way to address it in a thoughtful and painfully beautiful way that acknowledges the battle your mother - and your entire family - has waged and the conflicting desires to both cling on and release. And this you have done most admirably. No one could ask for, nor even imagine, better.

My

was for the bravery, thought and love you have for her to be able to write such an eloquent piece.
