[...] My benefit hours balance was just recovering from having had my youngest child, when, my mother got sick, and, my dad had surgery, and, I had to use all the hours, and, then some, all over again. So, now I’m back to having to decide if I can afford to take time off for something, or, if I should leave those hours in case someone gets sick. [...]

[...] I never told you a lot about my mother’s death, but, actually, it was pretty amazing, as far as these things go, and, since the b5 Media Family and Relationships Channel’s Blog Carnival theme is “love”, I figured this was as good of a time as any to tell you about it. She was very ill with lung cancer, but, she was the one who gave us an amazing gift of love: she scheduled her own death for us, I’m sure with the assistance of whatever divine force you want to insert here.

Immediately after that, my dad had back problems, and, was in a wheelchair for a couple of months, and, he had surgery. [...]

[...] My mother was an avid crossword puzzle fan. She did them all my life, and, even took them with her on multiple emergency room visits after she became ill. The New York Times puzzles gave her very little trouble, she could do them all. As a matter of fact, the way that I knew her cancer had taken a turn for the worse was when she no longer had interest in them. [...]
