Mortality

That's what I'm pondering today.  Mrs. Bristol's dad will be coming home from the hospital tomorrow so he can die at home.  It really sucks, but it's been coming for some time now.  Mrs. Bristol has been there for almost two weeks and it looks like she'll be staying at least another week.  Her mom is really struggling, understandably and Mrs. B is doing her best to help where she can. 

When my dad went 8 years ago it was over in a couple of days, this has been going on since October.  She's on her 4th trip to the opposite corner of the country.  Meanwhile, her useless brother, who is only 2 hours by car, has only been there twice.  And those have been for less than 2 days each.  I almost wish I was there just to kick him in the add and tell him what a moron he is.
