greatbear | Happy Mother's Day

Today, like every day since Wednesday, I visited mom in the hospital. She is finally out of intensive care and in a private room, but still with enough wires and tubing attached to compete with my watercooled PC. She is doing okay I guess, considering all she has been through. I do not know when she will be released from the hospital to come home.

Today is Mother's Day. Seeing her in bed, the tubing, electrodes, her weakened condition, the fact that she has never been hospitalized since she had me... well, it got to me today. I broke down crying as I was leaving tonight. I didn't want her to see it, but I could not help it for some reason. She did nothing to deserve all this. I would much rather it be me in that hospital.

I want her to recover, to beat this awful damn disease, and I will do whatever I can to help her out. I am just that way I guess. To me, every day is Mother's Day.
