Margo, I've missed your posts, too. Like "Another Kathy", I assumed those re-decorating plans were taking all of your time. Also, wasn't it about this time last year that your tennis team was going to sectionals? I hope you have the time to play (at least a little). It will help take care of the stress.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mother. And, bless her heart for having a medical directive which takes the burden off of you. We went through the same thing when Alan's dad passed away in February. He made his wishes clear also. Although it was hard for Alan and his family to carry them out, they honored them. And, in his case, it was for the best.

Please take time to post a line or two to let us know how you are holding up through this. The love and energy from this board is so uplifting. It certainly has been to me.

Take care.
