The last few days have been real rough for me, I haven't been able to help with tech stuff or anything else for that matter.......
A few days ago, mom had a stroke. It's tough to see her in the state that she's in. She is a computer genius that most likely affected someone on this board at one time or another. She wrote JCPenney's operating system. Currently she works at AAA corporate headquarters in Heathrow. If you've taken a trip and used AAA's directions, that's her program. At the moment, she can't use the right side of her body.
When I received the call, it really made me stop and reflect on the 3 hour drive to the hospital. Even though I live 3 hours away, I don't spend enough time with her. She is the last elder family member I have. The ironic thing is that 20 years ago, she went though the exact same scenerio with her mother. I was there at the time and this is like a re-run of the same episode. I mean, if I could have taken a photo of her mom and compared it to my mom today, it is like they are twins.
Times like this make you really appreciate what time you have on this small rock, especially the time spent with family and friends. You guys keep this place rockin' while I take care of business, make sure you tell your family how much you love them today. You never know if there won't be a tomorrow.
