I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time. I lost my mother suddenly several years ago so I never had to see her decline. My father has been having a lot of medical problems lately that have us all concerned. It's hard.

Have fun in Vegas! Hope you hit it big so you can come to Mpls again sometime! :)
