Sorry to hear of this JVJ, I sorta know how you feel... I've been caring for my mom (who has a terminal illness) for the last year or so.

I appreciate the thought, DL,
but things are what they are. And things can always be worse. Like I said, you just cope. And that's the key - we have to adjust our lives to reality, like one that doesn't include Al Williamson any more. But at least it's a reality that included him for a long time and we get to revisit his work as often as we like. Like I said, it could be worse...

Peace, Jim (|:{> (JVJ is my logon, Jim is my name...)

Yoc:
Well said Jim.
And I hope you can continue to cope for your Mom.  I can only imagine the feelings, etc involved.

Take care,
-Yoc

OtherEric:
My thoughts go out to both of you two.  I lost my Mom about 18 years ago; all I can say is treasure what time you have.

JVJ (RIP):
I'm a realist, Yoc, and a pragmatist, too. I love my mom, and she is progressing into a different part of her life. She's 89 and she's done a lot and lived a lot and what will be will be. Celebrate the now and the "future" will take care of itself. Someday my reality might be a world where my mom's dead, but that's not the now. You have to cope with and deal with now. I can handle that. Emotionally, it's not sad now and it's not going to be sad when she dies. It'll just be what happens. You know that old saying, "Nobody gets out of this world alive." Part of life is death. I'll miss my mom just like I'll miss Al Williamson, but it won't be unexpected when she goes.

Thanks for the good thoughts. Like I said, appreciate the now. If your mom is still alive, call her up and tell her you love her. You'll both appreciate it.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

Exactly, Eric,
We never know how long we have with our loved ones, so treat each moment as precious. You won't regret it.
