Okay, look, I'm very emotional right now. I don't know if it's because my Aunt Joan is as near death as you can be without actually letting go and dying, or if it's because my Mom is in New Jersey with her sister who is her best friend dying and I can't be with her, or because I'm scared of change, or because ( Read more... )
