My mom just had a stroke. [View all]

I just got home, it's 4:30 AM here and I can't sleep for crying. Her husband is with her at the moment and I will return after a few hours of sleep and taking care of their dog. She can't speak and it's frustrating as hell for her. If you have any extra kind thoughts or vibes she could use them right about now.

Sorry for the downer. I just had to share this though.
