The last week has been pretty up and down with Zoe's mom Gerry. More down than up. I've been putting off what to say not knowing how to say it. Zoe said it best: A short update on my Mom. It has been heartbreaking.

We have a little respite today. We will be off soon to pick up my mom and take her over to my brother Terry's for his 60th birthday. I can't believe that I have a younger brother that old! ;^) My mom's sister and husband will be there. I haven't seen them for some time. An old friend of the family will also be there. It will be some good family time. Links later.
