Peace.

(6,253 posts)it was taped in mid-afternoon (presumably on Wednesday). I suppose he could have left for South Carolina as soon as the taping ended, if the family had any idea that she was that ill.
had a car accident trying to drive to his dad who was dying. So had to take the mustang in the snow. (real wheel) couple weeks later he slid (cops say he didn't BS) thru an intersection with that Mustang and got T boned. One car hit him that spun the car into another car ... Either way. 4 yr old mustang totaled. so I had to take a shocked mom to the hospital because I was worried about her driving. Basically a head wound. Think he's had memory loss from that. , he's rather Right wing . but Still my dad. Dec 13 2008 will be remembered till I have no idea
Wish Colbert's the best.

It is not easy to be funny when bearing that weight of loss. I don't think age is a factor, either, particularly when one is close to one's parent(s).
