Tonight, the doctors said my Mother's body is shutting down. She will be gone in either days or weeks. She was my best friend and my shelter in the storm. She can no longer communicate in any meaningful way but I feel she is very much aware of what is happening. I'm thankful for a little more time to say goodbye.

We had many wonderful discussions in the last several years. She was a life long Democrat and cast her last vote for Obama through an absentee ballot filled out bey her husband in the Hospital. I'm lucky in that I can't think of anything I have said to her since I was a kid that I would want to take back. I'm kinda broken tonight so I apologize.

In the past, even in the last few days I have argued with others over opinions that really don't matter in the grand scheme of things. I wish now that I hadn't. Every person I have met is a wonderful thing in one way or another.

Treasure each encounter you have with another. You may not get another.
