I read your e-mail just now on my mother's computer, and I am so very
sorry for you. I am experiencing the same thing and am also losing my
mother. She is 56 years young and slowly dying before my eyes. I am only
28 and my sister is 20. You never think things will happen this way. God
bless you and may He be with you and keep your family strong.
