No, I haven't fallen off the earth.

My Mom had surgery this morning. Nothing too serious but right now she is KOed for the next week.

My Dad has advanced Parkingstons and has lost the use of his right hand so he needs a lot of help.

At the moment, I'm carrying the ball for their household. Thinking back about some of the crap we've been through, I'm surprised that it worked out this way.

For years we hated each other and called each other names, I never hit them but I got punched, they ignored me for years. Now Here we are.

I have to ask myself why and the answer is that it's just the right thing to do.

Why does it seem like it is easier to hold a grudge than it is to forgive and forget? It burns up a lot of energy carrying around that useless dead weight.

Having dumped a lot of those old resentments, I know I'm stronger, more powerful person.

Truth is so strange sometimes. Surrender to win? Forgiveness really is easier?

The war is over. We can all go home if we can find the peace within; and understand that our rage is a waste of energy.

I'll be busy but I'll try to get out another installment of SOS.

Peace,
