Darius, thanks so much for taking time out to write your note. I'm glad to hear you are staying in close contact with your mom. I know it means a lot to her. I sounded kind of pathetic, didn't I? This being alone so many hours a day is just new to be. It does give me the opportunity to paint, which I love, but it also gives me time to fret. My husband and kids are great. My kids live out of town but are great about calling. I talk to one of them every day. My husband and I worked side by side for 24 years until my recent back surgery. He closed his practice to take care of me, so now that he's finally working Again, I miss Hm a lot. Your reply forced me to look at my situation again. I'm blessed in so many ways. You sound like a very caring person, and a wonderful son. You take care and I'll say a prayer for your mom.
