... just lots of hugs and metaphorical tea. *hands you tea cup*

It's so hard when we have to deal with our grief and our health at the same time. I missed my father's funeral because I was too sick to get to my parents' hometown, and felt awful about not being there to support my mom.

I won't tell you not worry, but will gently remind you to get the rest that you need and to remember to eat and stay hydrated.

Keep us posted.
