Subject: Snow Days and Sad Days

We've been hybernating since noon yesterday when they closed down the entire city. All levels of government, road closures, mall closures (at Christmas!) etc. We are hoping to get a plow through here sometime today or there ain't no way we'll be going any where tomorrow. These are the times I wish I had a 4-w drive. In the meantime it is nice to be inside with the fire going and the Christmas lights on.

The other news is that my brother is back in the hospital. He has so many things wrong. We all know that he has no future and the thing we pray for now is just a little bit more time to love him. But we don't want him in pain. He is so depressed. This is how my dad was right before he died. He has congestive heart failure, kidneys shut down at times, oxygenation level bad. If he comes home (when!) he will have to be tied to a oxygen tank. It's just so sad. He's only 43. God does take the good ones early, I swear. He has that kind of pure heart; is rarely envious, always giving. I'm not ready to let him go. He and my mother are my last link to "family". I have a stepfamily, sure and I love them too. But it's not the same connection. I know that this is all part of the life process. We grow old, we lose family and friends. I can see the wisdom in having big families, or creating them with friends.

I'm just babbling now. My heartfelt good wishes go out to everyone.

Hope
