Update

My flight departed late, but we arrived on time in Vegas.  My mother is scheduled for surgery on Monday morning.  I hope for the best and (try to) prepare for the worst.  I appreciate the thoughts, prayers and positive energy that have been flowing my way.  Thanks, Cousins.

Very, very true.  When I read this, it reminded me of periwinkle; someone I never met in person, but with whom I was developing an online friendship.  When her daughter posted about her passing, I cried for a woman I had never seen.
