As some of you know about a month ago my mom was sent home on Hospice care, and two weeks ago I went down to my parents house to help take care of her and vist with her. Little did we know then that that was a the last time my little monkey would spend with his Mimi. Thursday at about 11am my dad called, it was the call I had been dreading, Mom was

*hugs* I am so sorry, hon. I wish there was something I could do to help ease the pain, but I know all too well there there is nothing anyone can do when you lose someone you love so much.

If you need anything, please let Josh or me know. We may be far away, but that doesn't mean we can't help. So really, if you need anything, then just let us know.

As for your brother, I agree with Lyrea, but you know your family best. Do what you think is right.

*hugs* Please take care, hon, and give the Monkey a hug and kiss from all of us in Memphis.

As Diva said. I know Matt will be gone pretty soon (maybe already) for training and that can complicate things a lot. We may be 2000 miles away, but if something big comes up one or both of us can be there by the next day.

Concerning your brother, from my own experience when my father died things were incredibly stressful and contentious among myself and other family members for various reasons and I will have regrets, resentment, and pains from that specifically for the rest of my life. It sounds like things are already strained with your family, but they may be beyond repair if your brother is intentionally left out of the loop and that would worsen the situation even more. I would suggest inviting him but being open with your Dad about doing so and why.

Good luck. I hope the rest of your family puts their differences aside. The rest of us will be there if you need anything at all.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom... I hope all is as well as can be expected with you and yours.

As for your brother, I agree whole heartedly with Lyrea. He should at least be given an opportunity to say his final goodbyes.

Take care of yourself!
