It never hurts to be reminded of what's important.

I'm at Mom & Dad's now. Mom is very sick today (a possible reaction to her injections). She can barely move. I had to help her to the bathroom, fixed her something to eat (she wouldn't eat all day), and help her get back into bed. My dad is exhausted - I can see it in his eyes.

When Mom laid down, I laid down on the other side of the bed, held her hand, and started singing (all the good stuff she used to sing for me as a kid). It was one of those moments that you know will be etched in your mind forever. As she fell asleep, I just stroked her hair, and silently prayed, giving her to God's care.

Life is indeed precious.
