Kathy,
My heart goes out to you. I know exactly what you are going through.
We went through this with my Mom and with my plans to travel to
Oregon. It was up and down, and there were times I just wanted to
leave right away and get there as fast as I could, and then I didn't
make it in time, anyway.
I'm praying for you all.
Love,
Pat Ferguson
