Bad news last night

I got some bad news last night from my bother. Our mother is dying. They only give her a week or two. She is staying at home with my brother with 24 hour care until the end comes. I did talk to her for a little while today and her spirits are very good as she has been preparing for this time for quite a while now.

I'm making a trip out to Oregon to see her this weekend and don't know how long it will be before I return home. My friend Dave has volunteered to go with me so that the drive will not be too hard on me. We are planning on driving straight through in order to get there as soon as posible. Wish me and Dave luck on the drive, we sure could use it.
