First let me say I am not complaining, just telling a story. What has transpired in the last 24 hrs is life. We just have to get through it.
Sunday night I went to bed in Florida on vacation. I had just watched Florida State beat LSU and thier new coach Brian Kelly (former Notre Dame coach). I was glad to see LSU lose after my alma mater and Notre Dame both lost this weekend.
7:00 am: wake up call from my sister, my mom who has been battling cancer and on the losing side as of late is now in hospice care and I might need to come home but don't leave yet waiting on word from the doc.
8:00 am doc says 2 weeks. Still wait for final word on what to do, I've already assesed packing and have preped the van. Still told to set tight by Dad.
10:00 am: I am told my mother had asked that I come home. I load up the rest of the gear and family and we head straight for the hospital in Evansville I make it in about 11 hrs. Stopping for gas a couple of times a bit of food and bathroom breaks worked in.
I get to the hospital for an hour visit with Mom she is sedated but wakes enough to tell me she loves me.
She is given more pain meds and falls asleep. I just got home at 2 am and will be headed up tomorrow. Time is short but it is the way it is supposed to be. She is supposed to go before I do.
