going to see mom this morning before i fly home this afternoon. had a bit of a scare with her yesterday after i gave her the news about dad, but thankfully she's ok. going to need some time to decompress and thankfully my boss put in my bereavement leave so i won't have to go back to work immediately (bless her). thanks to all who sent kind words and wishes. looking forward to spending this evening with my sweetie, midnight, and auggie, and sleeping in my own bed tonight.
