Dawn, I'm late sending my condolences and words of support, but I do hope you are doing okay now that you're with the rest of your family. My mother lives 3,000 miles away (along with every other family member and friend who means the most to me), and what you described is something I fear. Not being able to get home in time for an emergency is awful. My mom had emergency surgery last fall to remove several inches of her colon, and I remember what an emotional roller-coaster it was. I can't imagine the added grief you're dealing with, especially your siblings and Dad who were witnessing everything. My heart goes out to all of you at this horribly sad time.
Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I know this weekend (and the weeks and months that follow) will be very difficult -- take care.
