Dad has been gone six years

It doesn't seem possible that Dad has been gone six years.  I am so incredibly grateful that I had 40 full years with him in my life.  I regret that my kids never got to know him before he was sick, but I will forever be grateful that they also had many years with him.  I love that Thomas especially, still tells me little things that remind them of him.  I miss him so much.

Mom is having a particularly rough day.  Her mother has been taken to the hospital this morning.  I feel so awful for my mom.  When her sister became ill two years ago, it was predominantly my mother who made sure Aunt Cathy was at all of her appointments.  It was mentally and physically exhausting for her.  Mom admits that she has not recovered, especially not mentally.  To have to deal with G.G.'s illness right now is especially hard on her.  G.G. is not being a cooperative patient and is accusing the family of lying.  My mother is so angry, and I feel badly for her.  I have a feeling she is going to have a particularly long weekend.
