Stuffing

grandfather

my mother went to holland for her october visit with her parents (she goes twice a year) and my grandfather (her father) got sick (fluid in the lungs)- well he was sick when she arrived but he got worse and so she took him to the hospital. So the visit was very well timed in that she was very helpful to her parents. it can't have been a restful trip for her. sometimes the things we have to do are the good things even if they are not fun.
when she was about to leave to get on the flight home he told her he wouldn't see her again. very sad :(

there is also a family i know who the mom has just been diagnosed with als and may only have a few years to live and she has a daughter james' age as well as one 2 years younger. the one james' age has not had the same life as james as she was diagnosed with cancer at 2 years old. they fought so hard and she is now cancer free but her mom is sick.
