sounds like we are all dealing with loss and the pain that brings. TB, i am sorry for all you have on your plate right now. mom and dad not doing well, kids gone, fav aunt ill also. damn, that's a sad sandwich for sure.

at least buddy came home. i was worried about him.

my dad has moved to oklahoma, near my youngest sister.

the day after my mom passed, my dad went all kinds of crazy, wanting to know where all the money was. how much money did he have? i did not handle that well. my sister came up and handled my dad. i moved full time to the farm. i like it here. i want my mom though, all the time. i am getting so i can go for hours now and not think about it. i call that progress.

i hope you don't guilt yourself over what you can and cannot do for your family. you have done a great deal and i know how much you value your family. they know that too.
