This isn't a tragedy for me, I don't mind either way, but I'd never wish this on my mom. My mom, now the orphan, breast cancer survivor twice. She and my father are doing better, so you'd think this would mean she'd have someone to talk to, but it's the opposite. Dad takes anything as an excuse to rattle off about his memories, his experiences, his regrets. Mom just sits and absorbs everything. Told her if she needs to talk, I'm around. Told her if she needs me to come with her to the memorial service, I'd go. So I may or may not be in Canada in three weeks. << | x | >> whatiscopyright.org
