Preoccupied

I haven't blogged in a while, or played much for that matter. My mind's been on other things, like my family. My mom is in the hospital in Florida, having contracted pneumonia from a compromised immune system due to chemotherapy administered for the treatment of lymphoma. Yeah, it's a mouthful, but the bottom line is she's in pretty bad shape. I'm going down to Florida tonight to be with my Father. This will be my second trip down there in less than two weeks. Thankfully, my mother is stable, but still critical and breathing with the aid of a respirator. I'm hoping the coming days will see more steady improvement on her antibiotic treatment regimen. All I can do now is pray and help my brothers hold us together during this trying time.

If you've got a healthy mom, now would be the time to call her up and tell her you love her. It's a gift.
