Cindy, take all the time you need. Like Brenda said, family is the most important priority. Enjoy all the time you have with him. i'll keep you and your father in my prayers. hugz i understand your need to have more time. i haven't been commenting much or enabling comments frequently because i've been spending much more time with my family via phone, email, and letters. Our family is going thru a really tuff time right now and will for quite some time to come. brenda, i hope and pray your father will be home for Christmas, and that things will improve. hugz i wish my brother could be home for Christmas, but sadly he will not. i can't be with him so i write him letters once or twice a day and mail him pictures, books, magazines, and various things. anyway, happy holidays Cindy and Brenda and hang in there. :)
